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.

So sad to hear about Efeso Collins. I imagined voting for him for prime minister one day. An enormous loss.

Moving the fees-free year to the last from the first raises the barrier once again for folk who don't come from university-going families. (I am the first person in my family to go to university - I started my degree in my 20s it took me 15 years to complete cause ... money).
