We all know that the UK could have a well-funded university system without heaping debt on the heads of students, if politicians wanted it to.
That's the only thing to say, really. Every dysfunction is a choice. A choice made by politicians, not by lecturers or students.

Third set of proofs for a piece I really, really, really struggled to write, but now am actually very happy with (even if my affiliation, mysteriously, now language-switches between German and English).
Part of the Journal of Medieval History's 50th anniversary issue, to be published sooooon.

It feels like one thing we need to be making sure we do in response to AI, mostly in an effort to make our colleagues lives easier, is be making sure that we claim our publications with an ORCID or in some other easily accessible place.
My colleague, investigating a student for obvious GenAI use, sent me a bibliographical reference to a chapter I'd apparently written in a volume I had apparently edited.
Neither title of course exists. But they were both titles I COULD have written, and he emailed because he felt he had to check.
