this is incredible and well worth a read
If you are baffled by why the jury refused to convict the Palestine Action defendants, it's because – unlike them – you didn't hear the actual evidence. You heard what the media wanted you to know.

Here, I explain what the jury learnt from the trial: jonathancook.substack.com/p/barristers...
Barrister's powerful speech at Filton Trial reminds jury of its right to defy judge
Starmer and the media need convictions to justify Palestine Action's proscription as a terrorist group. Rajiv Menon KC spells out to the jury why it is a vital last defence against government tyranny

Hello #skystorians.
Possibly a silly question, but is there an easy way to find out if our books are being used to teach? And if so, what is it?!
OR if any of you are using my book in your teaching, could you please let me know?
Thank you so much!

Fanny Price is EVERYONE’s passive-aggressive queen 👸
Full disclosure: ‘passive-aggressive’ was mine for Mansfield Park - Fanny is my pass-agg queen 🖤

For the Austen short course, I asked students to come up with a one-word review for the book we were reading - which was super fun! (Ranging from ‘dull’ 😱 to ‘passive-aggressive’ 🤣)

Yesterday, we finished the course and I asked for a one-word review of it and am *delighted* with ‘joyful’ 🥰🥰🥰
Happy birthday, Jane Austen!

Here is a thread of things I have learned (or thought more about) teaching Jane Austen: Reading, Romance, Revolution (a ‘knowledge exchange’ short course, dontchewno?) (1/7)

*Foucault voice* Mansfield Park is a prison.
None of the children at Mansfield Park are safe - I hadn’t thought of Mary & Tom etc as endangered by adult neglect cos Fanny hates them so, but they are just as unsafe in their uncaring environment as Fanny (4/7)
