Mamdani got a humanities degree.

His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

This week I'll be submitting the manuscript, with my brilliant co-editor Carl Kears, for our OA volume with UCL Press: 'Beyond Medieval Archives: Rethinking the medieval archive through creative and critical practice'. Still so much work to do before Thursday, but it's exciting!

I think about this poem by Ian Duhig — about Jo Cox, the Labour MP assassinated by a man shouting ‘Britain first’ — every day at the moment. No other contemporary poet has looked so clearly at the political reality of the far right as a minority who must always be appeased
