The programme I run - the MSc in Contemporary History - will be axed, amongst so many others. We've also been told our undergrad courses will need to have a minimum of 20 students over a 3 year period. The bonfire of the universities has truly come for Edinburgh.

The patriarchy passes through the body: Elena Ferrante in conversation with feminist writers. 🌊 For a third summer in a row, we are delving into the world of Elena Ferrante. The four seminars will focus on Elena Ferrante’s standalone novels, bringing them into conversation with feminist writing.
