Sadly, I missed the ubiquitous Ms Klein when she jetted into Brighton the other week, but, happily, YouTube was there to capture her address to the faithful, most of whom appeared to lap it up: solidarity for and with all...

Have you ever wondered how interesting other conference might be?  That is, conferences whose subject has nothing to do with your own academic interests or expertise.  Take, for example, the International Conference of Dress Historians which meets in London at the...

I've been reading, rather belatedly, the concluding report (March 2016) of Scotland's  Learning for Sustainability National Implementation Group.  This is packed with flag-waving claims.  Given Scotland's reputation for claiming that it does things differently, better and yesterday, I was not surprised to...
