Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

There is absolutely nothing left to the UK but bigotry and spite. A hateful place, you can almost taste it in the air, makes it hard to breathe.

My first thought listening to David Lammy on the Today programme as I cycled to work yesterday, was that this has horrific EDI implications. Glad to read that Diane Abbott called him out on this. #JuryReform #UKPolitics #EDI www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Badenoch on Today—backing Jenrick’s “no white faces in Birmingham” comment & making a sharp distinction between multiracial & multicultural societies. Definitely using this in next semester’s teaching. Will she still be Tory leader by then? #Multiculturalism #Teaching #Conservatives

I won‘t claim to be an expert in Japanese politics but a radical right party doing well in elections and the mainstream right party shifting sharply to the right sounds awfully familiar. Let‘s just say good reasons to believe that this won‘t be great for Japan. www.independent.co.uk/asia/japan/j...

This is my big worry for a professional perspective - people need to learn the skills to do their own analysis/research so they can recognise what's wrong. If junior roles get replaced by AI (or even if juniors lean too heavily on it) how do we train the future leaders?

Professor Katharine Adeney @katadeney.bsky.social · 04/09/2025

I agree. But this has to be a collaboration. And for it to be a true collaboration, students need a solid foundation of knowledge first. The real challenge? Motivating students to build that foundation before they turn to AI tools. #Academia #HigherEd #AIinEducation

Today, I’m revisiting my own notes on pre-independence constitutional debates in India—material I hadn’t looked at in years. And yet, here it is, suddenly relevant again.

🔁 A gentle reminder to ECRs: never throw away your old notes or drafts. That overlong chapter or article draft—yes, the one that’s 5,000 words too long—might just hold the key to your next project. Save it. Archive it. You never know when you’ll return to it with fresh eyes or a new angle.
