The tuition fee increase will not stop the crisis in higher education.

Labour must provide a sustainable, long-term public funding solution.

Honoured to be the token literary scholar on @histmat's panel tackling State Repression, Mass Incarceration, and Radical Alternatives with a group of fantastic researchers / activists / lawyers.

A lively, wide-ranging discussion - especially for 10am on a Sunday (and day FOUR).

@DrAnnahita @hanachronism @ThePhilosoCave @TheProfRog P.S. the associated collection at the Peltz Gallery - Otherworldly - is great. It's free and running until December: https://t.co/xlGbImazsr

Fascinating panel tonight with experts in psychology (@DrAnnahita), linguistics (@hanachronism), philosophy and religion (@ThePhilosoCave), and astrobiology (Prof. Ian Crawford) addressing the prospect of alien life. Chaired artfully by @TheProfRog.

[gabriel burrow @GabrielBurrow]

@DrAnnahita @hanachronism @ThePhilosoCave @TheProfRog • Eastern religions would generally take it in their stride
• If we discover alien life exists, astrobiology becomes another subset of biology
• More needs to be done to prevent extractivist and/or colonial ways of thinking from dominating human space exploration
