The Plashing Vole: August 2014
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Thursday, 28 August 2014. I appear to have broken one of my friends, a colleague and a co-writer! I've been pretty quiet this week because I've been working really hard on a conference paper (and hopefully journal article). The conference is on The Politics and Law of Doctor Who. Its energetic progenitor Danny Nicol has even set up a blog. Well in advance to kick ideas around outside the closed circle of academia, which is the kind of thing that makes me happy. In actual fa...

The Plashing Vole: January 2015
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Wednesday, 28 January 2015. But chiefly on my mind today is George RR Martin. I'm supervising an undergraduate dissertation on Game of Thrones. Which means I've had to read them all (I know, feel my dedication) and I'm not happy. After a while, it gets a bit repetitive. And by 'a while', I mean one volume of the seven (so far). Links to this post. Thursday, 22 January 2015. Synergising our core products. Links to this post. Monday, 19 January 2015. To start 1st October 2015...

The Plashing Vole: February 2015
http://plashingvole.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Plashing Vole – y traethodydd. Tuesday, 24 February 2015. All hail Eimear McBride. Last week we had the enormous pleasure of Eimear McBride visiting us. I put her debut novel A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing. On a first-year course last year and was stunned by how strongly the students responded to this experimental, poetic, harrowing novel. Which I've now ordered. She also put in a word for Edna O'Brien - rightly so. In the New Yorker. A sexual relationship with her uncle, an affair …. Then we went to dinn...

Race, Diversity, and Discrimination. Strategies, Tactics, and Goals. Friday, December 16, 2011. Friday, December 16, 2011. Debt, Democracy, and the Public University. Wheeler Hall, UC Berkeley, December 7, 2011: This panel has been asked to talk about how far we've come since the Fall of 2009- and where we're headed. The idea of an “education premium” that would keep on rising was also, of course, the basis for making degrees from public universities tuition-funded rather than taxpayer-funded...My argume...

The May Budget Revision: UC Budget Goes from Bad to Worse ~ Remaking the University
http://utotherescue.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-may-budget-revision-uc-budget-goes.html
Race, Diversity, and Discrimination. Strategies, Tactics, and Goals. Friday, May 15, 2015. Friday, May 15, 2015. The May Budget Revision: UC Budget Goes from Bad to Worse. I'm sorry to rain on the parade, but even though the state continues to recover, UC does not. In November 2014, Gov. Brown offered UC a 4 percent increase in state funding, or $119.5 million. The UC Regents countered with their famous 5 percent tuition increase, which would have added another $131 million. Had UC losing $5.7 billio...
