These posts are gold. They directly show how we already have massive documentation from REF impact case studies re: the value of disciplinary expertise in the real world. We can all dig up local examples and publicize them with political leaders & in communities.
What's lost when we lose staff, departments, programmes and faculties in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and what's that got to do with organ donation?

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it
We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

This is utterly disgraceful.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It’s also key to recognise that the justice “system” picks up the failures of other parts of the State.
When I reviewed criminal justice a decade ago it was clear that reoffending by young people was heavily driven by an absence of any other social support for young mothers and others.
