Following on from my earlier thread about claims of “bias” in universities (link below 👇), I was struck by James Marriott’s column in today’s Times. It’s full of anecdote & caricature. The real story of UK universities is structural, financial, and political. 🧵

Listening to Rest is Politics, Rest is Politics US, and reading respected commentators, it's striking how 'left-wing bias' in universities is now taken for granted. That matters, especially in the US, where academia faces political attack. Thoughts from having worked in US/UK universities. 🧵

Now for a special session discussing Social Identity Theory 50 years later.
Steve Reicher highlights the importance of adapting the theory to the rapidly changing political climate.
We need only look to activism of the past to see how social identity has the power to enact social change.
