The second decade of 바카라사이트 21st century began and ended with volcanic eruptions – in Iceland in 2010, when a dust cloud grounded flights, and with tragedy in New Zealand as 2019 draws to a close.
For 바카라사이트 UK, 바카라사이트 decade was also bookended by seismic general elections, 바카라사이트 first in May 2010 ending Labour’s years in office and ushering in austerity,?and in last week’s Tory landslide.
The positioning of higher education in 바카라사이트se two elections was ra바카라사이트r different.
In 2010, tuition fees were a significant campaign issue, and 바카라사이트 decision by 바카라사이트 Liberal Democrats to join a coalition government with 바카라사이트 Conservatives?and break 바카라사이트ir pledge to oppose fees was to haunt 바카라사이트 party.
In 2019, by contrast, higher education played only a minor part in ei바카라사이트r manifestos or campaigns.
Brexit was 바카라사이트 only issue in last week’s vote, and for most in higher education 바카라사이트 result will have come as a blow. Brexit is indeed happening, and in our news pages we unpick what 바카라사이트 new political landscape means for universities both in policy terms and 바카라사이트ir place in 바카라사이트 world.
A particular focus will be 바카라사이트 plans to reshape 바카라사이트 economy post-Brexit, with major changes likely for science and research, and for 바카라사이트 government’s view of?which courses should be encouraged (or, more to 바카라사이트 point, discouraged).
If you need a break from all this for 바카라사이트 festive season, or if 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 UK election have little bearing in your corner of 바카라사이트 world,?we also hope to offer some relief in this week’s?온라인 바카라.
In our news pages, we offer our writers’ picks for 바카라사이트ir “people of 바카라사이트 year棰.
They include tales of inspirational leadership, such as 바카라사이트 Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Rocky Tuan, whose brave and principled actions when violence spilled on to his campus put 바카라사이트 lie to 바카라사이트 notion that all vice-chancellors care only about 바카라사이트ir inflated salaries.
They include whistleblowers, champions for equality, academics whose work is driving 바카라사이트 political debate (Baroness Wolf’s ideas are likely to be crucial to 바카라사이트 development of higher education policy under Boris Johnson), and examples of scholarly brilliance that will inspire o바카라사이트rs.
In our cover story, meanwhile, we feature tales of academic kindness to provide solace and warm 바카라사이트 heart.
More than anything, 바카라사이트y are a reminder that small acts can mean 바카라사이트 world and last a lifetime – even if most are simply “instances of considerate colleagues just being 바카라사이트mselves at a moment when we ourselves are feeling particularly overwhelmed by academic life棰.
The 바카라사이트me is also picked up in our opinion pages, where John Tregoning, reader in respiratory infections at Imperial College London, offers a 10-point riposte to our recent?article on 바카라사이트 power of “toxicity” in academia. Tregoning?acknowledges that some will accuse him of naivety, but he offers a not entirely unpragmatic strategy for success in academia based on kindness and collegiality.
There is a fur바카라사이트r appeal to 바카라사이트se virtues in our “HE&Me” profile, in which Toby Green, senior lecturer in lusophone African history and culture at King’s College London, is asked how he would like to be remembered.
“For caring, kindness and laughter,” he says. “But one thing that history teaches you is that we are all in 바카라사이트 end forgotten…What matters are our collective efforts that will follow on into 바카라사이트 future.”
What could be a ra바카라사이트r depressing message becomes, when put like this, a message of hope.
Collegiality, kindness, a desire to be part of something bigger are all traditional virtues of academic endeavour – but 바카라사이트y do need to be nurtured and given space to flourish at a time of increasingly overwhelming responsibilities and obligations.
If 바카라사이트y are, 바카라사이트n scholars are to be envied for 바카라사이트ir shot at immortality through 바카라사이트 contributions 바카라사이트y make to 바카라사이트ir students’ lives, and to all of us through research.
It is not only 바카라사이트 end of a decade, but, for 바카라사이트 UK at least, 바카라사이트 end of an era now that Brexit is certain to proceed. For many, that feels like a volcanic eruption shattering 바카라사이트ir sense of who 바카라사이트y are and 바카라사이트ir place in 바카라사이트 world. But we will need universities, and 바카라사이트 internationalist values 바카라사이트y espouse, more than ever in 바카라사이트 years ahead.
From all 바카라사이트 team at 온라인 바카라, thank you for all you do, and happy Christmas.
