A jargon-free exploration of hot topics in higher education…. Might Students in Germany and England see university differently? Who’s bright enough to go to university? Who should go to university? November 18, 2014. Accepted answer to the first question is ‘people who can satisfactorily complete the course, and who want to study’. The second question asks whether those who can and want to actually do. This breaks down into three topics, so I’ll do a blog on each. It’s a trilogy! Enter your comment here.

Imperialist, white-supremacist, capitalist patriarchy? July 15, 2016. This post began as a reflection on why the term ‘imperialist-white-supremacist-capitalist-patriarchy’ isn’t funny. I attended a conference session on gender violence and inequality in universities in which the term got a good laugh.

April 2, 2015. Two years ago, I wrote a blog post on the borders of education. The increasing use of state power to control international movement in and through universities in England.
