Something else incredible that Dolly Parton's life reveals: that it's possible to have something like a socialist-feminist worldview (though I doubt she'd have put it that way) and corresponding professional standards and life practice, and be universally beloved in America. Feels mad but it's true.

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Neoliberalism’s refusal to recognise interdependence, because recognising it would involve some responsibility, is causing the complete failure on climate and on the infrastructure of research and education. And it is very exhausting how easily it is enabled.

Joint honours degrees MATTER. They allow students to think in more expansive and creative ways about knowledge and about how we understand our world. If they become the preserve of the “elite” universities, we’ll impoverish an entire generation of students.
