Very sad to hear about the death of Prof. Simon James - an excellent scholar and a kind human being. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.
We're really sorry to hear of the death of our dear colleague Professor Simon James.
From 2016-19, Simon was PI on the Arts Council England and Durham University collaboration, the Durham Commission on Creativity which investigated the benefits of creativity for young people.

Editorial: ‘The government should not stand aloof as a crisis unfolds in our universities. A new settlement is needed’. Good to see a measured, informed, and supportive media response to the crisis in HE.

The Arts and Humanities Alliance have written an open letter to Bridget Philippson, Secretary of State for Education, on the recently announced cuts across the sector. We are concerned that these measures disproportionately affect our disciplines and call for an urgent government review.

Having now seen #Nosferatu, I’m sorry to say that I was disappointed. I’ve loved Eggers’ work to date, and the cinematography here was equally impressive, but it’s a one-note movie - everything is overwrought, including Orlok’s distracting accent!

@danielledove.bsky.social One for you, I think! 😂
A quirky bit of Dickensian afterlife I just discovered: a type of Pacific Ocean char 👇 is called the Dolly Varden trout, named after the character in Dickens's Barnaby Rudge - or more likely the brightly-patterned Dolly Varden dress.
