Writing: A True Story

[The New Statesman @NewStatesman]

Count Binface belongs to a proud British tradition – much longer and prouder than any British tradition Nigel Farage can claim to represent – of candidates who exist solely to allow the electorate to express how inadequate they find the other options. Rather than not voting, or voting for someone they don’t actually believe should hold power, the people can send a message that they consider the other candidates so insufficient as representatives that they would rather vote for a man with a bin on his head.

We must unite behind Count Binface, writes @willydunn: https://t.co/sQwHgOvVzo

'Englishisation and Multilingual Dynamics in Higher Education' is Volume 1 of The Linguistic Landscape of Higher Education Internationalisation, a project examining the role of English as a Language of Globalisation and Internationalisation, a term first introduced in this work, to describe the use of English as a key driver of internationalisation in higher education. https://t.co/bOf4UTDIf5

UK-Japan cultural diplomacy done properly.

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

Not sure he gets the accent quite right, but he’s doing wonders for Japan’s image in the UK. I’ve watched loads of ambassadors over the years, many of them (though fortunately not all) bores or time-servers. Hiroshi Suzuki is the complete opposite — a real star!

"The establishment of world-class RI would serve as a powerful strategic instrument for science diplomacy by shifting the role of African nations from passive recipients of aid to co-designers of global research agendas." Read more in #scidip: https://t.co/MPOVRhxj0C

Wise words on motivation from snooker legend 'The Rocket'. Much needed as the new academic year gets into full swing.

[Ronnie O'Sullivan @ronnieo147]

I'm still just as competitive. It's all about learning how to motivate yourself the right way.

The marketization of higher education in a nutshell 🥜. Service providers satisfying the knowledge consumers.

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

In my 23 years at Harvard I've had to increase the proportion of A & A- grades from 25% to 65% of my large intro class (still tougher than the average Harvard class) so as not to drive away students. Finally, "Harvard Proposes Capping A’s to Curb Grade Inflation." The key: recognize that it's a collective action problem (every professor has an incentive to inflate even while recognizing that it's bad when everyone does it). Voluntary guidelines, the previous suggestion, are thus useless; only a collegewide policy can work. https://t.co/hKM2TDtUZJ
