Gutted to hear this news. My students read an essay from @pantographpunch.bsky.social today! We talked about the politics of citation and how the loss of publications like this means it is that much harder for people to share their work and for people to access their work in Aotearoa.
Dear readers,
From March 28th, 2024, we will be going on hiatus. The team will be putting out a more thorough piece about our thoughts and feelings at the end of the month, but for now we’d love to celebrate these last weeks with you.
