“The decimation of the humanities and social sciences is an affront to educational common-sense, any idea of social cohesion, needs these subject areas to be at the heart of education and everyday life” ⁦Angela McRobbie⁩ versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/ne…

Thank you to all my colleagues this is heartfelt
