A busy free days in London for work, research and pleasure. Highlights will be visiting RSA House, our #JLDHE Annual Away Day and some annual leave for the Design and Disability Exhibition at the V&A.

Highlights of the train journey so far: watching three farmers herd a bull of the tracks.

Alison Bennett MP (Lib Dem) fighting for adopted children 👇

The ASGSF is a lifeline for adoptive children and their families.

I pressed a Minister on it's importance. While he agreed that a 5% breakdown rate is too high, he failed to recognise the crucial role the ASGSF plays.

I’ll keep pushing the government to reverse its cuts.

More than 800,000 under-5s on social media... That is a problem. The constant unsupervised social media use by children is one of the most significant problems of our time - and it is starting earlier than most people would like to think. #socialmedia #earlyyears

Love Tim Marshall’s series!
kameronhurley.com Kameron Hurley @kameronhurley.com · Nov 29
This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

Juries are not perfect.

Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.

But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.

They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

Another excellent blog from #HEPI, focused upon the economic benefits driven by international students within the UK.

www.hepi.ac.uk/2025/11/21/w...

#AcademicSky #UKHE #HigherEd #UKbudget25 #UKeconomy #InternationalStudents @hepi-news.bsky.social
The growing economic footprint of international students The economic impact of international students in the UK surged from £31.3 billion in 2018/19 to £41.9 billion by 2021/22. On average, every parliamentary constituency in Britain benefits by £58 million. Some regions rely more heavily than others on this influx of global talent. In Sheffield, for example, international students contribute around £770 million annually to the city’s economy, while across Yorkshire and the Humber, that total exceeds £2.9 billion. In cities such as Leicester, Exeter, Nottingham, and Dundee, universities are among the leading exporters, accounting for up to 15% of total local exports. These figures show how universities serve as economic anchors, especially outside the Southeast. International students contribute through tuition, housing, local spending, and by supporting jobs in retail and hospitality.
