Take a look at this excellent set of articles (if I may say so myself ☺️) on critical #HigherEd #internationalism. My article on #Southern #LatAm #regionalism and #extension with Evandro Coggo and Viginia Rodes is here www.berghahnjournals.com/view/journal...

Special issue I edited with @tainamsaarinen.bsky.social published today! "Alternative Internationalisms: Thinking Through and Beyond Criticality in International Higher Education". This was a long time gestating, developing, growing, dormant, emerging, fruiting. Really proud of all our work here!

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left. YALL, THE TITLE!!

A reminder of a pretty etymology to brighten the day. The ‘daisy’ takes its name from the Old English ‘dæges ēage’, ‘day’s eye’, because it opens its petals at dawn, and closes them again at dusk.

Last night i spoke of the afterlives of Irish revolutionary women in the Free State-a state which defined a narrow model of what it meant to be an Irish woman. Anyone who did not live up to that model was surveilled, shamed and/or institutionalised! Narrow definitions of womanhood harm all women.

CfP: How Sciences End Oxford, 11-13 July 2025 Deadline: 31 January 2025 Submit 250-word abstracts to howsciencesend@gmail.com [I'm broadcasting this on behalf of Joe Martin, Michelle Aroney & Alex Aylward, none of whom AFAIK are on this site yet]

CALL FOR PAPERS: How Sciences End
Dates: 11–13 July 2025
Location: University of Oxford, UK
Submission deadline: 31 January 2025
Conference Theme and Goals
Historians have studied extensively how sciences begin—but how do they end? This is a crucial
question for understanding how the labour of knowledge-making evolves. Previous attention to the
founding, disciplining, and professionalisation of individual sciences has provided robust
frameworks for thinking through the birth and growth of knowledge-making communities. Far less
attention has been directed toward how those same communities decay, dissipate, or evolve beyond
the contemporary boundaries of science. This conference seeks to cultivate case studies of the ends
of sciences, and thereby to motivate a new approach to thinking about the developmental
trajectories of scientific disciplines, communities, institutions, and the ordering of expert
knowledge. A further aim is to strengthen the community of scholars with a shared interest in
studying the ends of sciences.
Submission Process
Submissions should be sent to howsciencesend@gmail.com. Please title the email “SciEnds Abstract
Submission” and include the following information in the body:
- Full name as you would like it to appear on the programme
- Email address
- Affiliation, or how you would like to be identified on the programme
- Presentation title
- An abstract of no more than 250 words describing your proposed talk and how it fits the
conference theme and goals.
- An indication of whether you would like to be considered for travel support. (Limited funds
are available to defray travel costs, with priority given to early career and insecurely employed
scholars.)
The submission deadline is 31 January 2025. We plan to circulate a draft program by the end of
February 2025.
Programme Committee
Michelle Aroney (Oxford), Alex Aylward (Oxford), Joseph D. Martin (Durham)

The 'profession as a self-regulating collective without' aspect has to feature as an explanation here. Doctors and lawyers as classical professions know how to self-organise and do things without a lot of state direction, so anarchism would seem a natural fit.

Kinda has the vibe of chiding the unsophisticated ordinary idiom for not appreciating the nuances, but when all is said and done it doesn't actually have anything to do with those nuances. It just wanted you to know that it was aware of them.

Luckily a copy was made in the 1930s before a period of improper care damaged the picture. The original daguerreotype was taken on Sept. 3, 1842, which is only a few years after the technology was publicly announced in Paris by the French painter and chemist Louis Daguerre. 2/9

Preparing 'scripts' for our department's videos of some courses I teach, and it's really hard to try boil down a module into 45 seconds. Concision is not a skill I've developed yet - more's the pity. When enrolments crater I will just roll out the Principal Skinner meme.

I'd argue ravioli and gyoza are Wellingtons. Lasagne is a sandwich for sure though.

Hello all: It is with a heavy heart that I remove my Starter Pack of "Trustworthy Mesopotamian Copper Ingot Merchants Within the City-State of Ur." I have been informed about some pretty unfortunate oversights on my part and ultimately platformed some creators who should not have been platformed.

I really think at its heart philosophy is one giant battle, taking place over many eras and nations, between people who are basically pleasant bureaucrats and people who are sexy murder poets, and it’s both super important and super boring that the pleasant bureaucrats must win.
