My article "Academic Emotions and Emotional Academics" has just been published on the Austrian Journal of Historical Studies. journals.univie.ac.at/index.php/oe... Through the Vitelli and Schiaparelli family (1880s-1940s), it explores problems still relevant to academia, education, and much beyond.

It’s impossible to see how our current ‘problems could be tackled without the skills that the arts and humanities offer: rigorous critical reflection, creative problem solving, the capacity to dwell in complexity and ambiguity, and the historical long-view’. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Opinion: Let’s not make the same mistake as the UK. ‘Sensible’ degrees are overrated

Coding and accountancy were once trumpeted as secure careers, but AI is showing otherwise

Did you know that we hold the records for Aston's predecessor organisations and student's organisations, including their publications? In Dec 1956 the Journal of the Guild of Students of the College of Technology, asked whether our main building -at that point half complete- would ever be finished.

An image from a newspaper. The header says "Shall we ever see it finished". The image is of a very large building under construction. There is scaffolding around it. Next to it is a completed building.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

The first school to market itself as AI free is going to corner the market on people interested in actually learning. And I would not be surprised if rich families and the children of people creating this tech were the first movers.

This would be why I am such a strident critic of digitization as a substitute for actual archival preservation. My sixteenth century documents are far sturdier and likely to survive another 500 years than the detritus on the internet. And digitization is not democratization.

And that is why people should be taught since nursery school to defend the integrity of the processes through which documents are preserved and accessed. May this alert all (everywhere!) about the importance of education in what archives/archivists/historians are and do.

Good, insightful blog by @davidevampa.bsky.social on the lessons we can learn about the expansion of Reform UK's success to Scotland from the territorial expansion of Italy's Lega (Nord), a party widely despised in the south transformed to one with a national populist platform and Italy-wide appeal.
