‘The train can be the crowded 6.41 from Bromley or it can be the Orient Express, but it’s still doing the same job, on the same rails, reminding you that tedium and exhilaration are different not in kind but merely in degree.’

This is just awful (on top of the outrage of ancient history and religion and theology degrees going completely). How can you study a language at degree level without learning about the cultures, literatures and histories of that language?
Sort of good but mostly not. They still want to close 3 languages completely. And teaching-only contracts at basic starting salary grade 6, no research-led teaching, no culture/hist/lit modules on lang degrees. No confirmation on how many T&R in MLANG to be saved.
