Critically thinking about how to implement a so-called CLIL-approach to teaching critical thinking to international Master's students (from China) and which specific translanguaging strategies could best support them on their learning journeys (in Australia). Big question.

It doesn't do any good to say "let's get disabled people into employment" if at the very same time you're cutting the support that *keeps* disabled people in employment. Here's my letter to the Guardian about Labour's cuts to Access to Work funding: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Four UK universities announce plans to cut over 750 jobs www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-u... - it'll probably be way more than 750 jobs once these cuts bite. And spread across the sector. Hard to stress how awful this is.
