Bethwell Ogot was an imaginative and rigorous authority in oral history, a stringent critic of ethnonationalist and imperialist historiography, a gifted essayist, and a remarkably generous thinker. I hope living and future historians will do his legacy justice www.standardmedia.co.ke/health/natio...

'In the letter, made public on 10 February, Julia Black...says the “range of cutbacks we are seeing across universities is leading to a severe loss in UK capability".' Nearly 100 HEIs are “contracting or closing” social sciences, humanities & the arts disciplines “in the face of a financial crisis”.

Loved this elegant cast-iron bridge over the River Wye. Cast in Merthyr Tydfil and built in 1827, it's called the Bigsweir Bridge. Seen on a beautiful St Briavels circular walk.
