#HISTORY Vichy France on trial.

After a biography of de Gaulle, historian Julian Jackson (School of History, Queen Mary University of London) is turning his attention to the 1945 trial of Marshal Pétain. Is it easier for foreign researchers to delve into the darkest hours of French history?

After 18 years in the UK, this week I suddenly became a tea drinker. You know, like ‘tea’ tea. What!? Why!? How!? I don’t know, but I’m all PG Tips all the time from now on.

So excited to share the film that Hannah Williams and I wrote, produced, and made with an amazing team at the National Gallery, including Fran Whitlum-Cooper, Amber Akaunu, Alessandro Sorenti, and the brilliant poet Madeleine Le Cesne: youtube.com/watch?v=XEjL4N…

After receiving the news that I will not be graduating on time due to QMUL’s refusal to pay their teachers, I only have one thing to say. I support Queen Mary UCU and all the teachers who have made my time at QMUL so brilliant. Thank you ❤️ #SupportTheStrikes

I don’t expect much from these people, but I did naively expect that much. Clearly part of the problem is that university managers are thoroughly insulated from the consequences of their own actions and have come to have union bashing identified as maybe their core job.

QMUL 'is spending more than £400K for the technology across 6 buildings. Dr Eastwood said there were further concerns that data gathered could be released to third parties, such as the UK Border Agency.'

I wake up grateful everyday I am not QMUL anymore.

This is devastating news. Seriously, what is the plan? What are HE executives hoping to create?
