Two 1 year fixed term teaching jobs in political theory/HPT advertised today. With this exploitative teaching load I can't imagine how anyone would have enough time to do the research required to get their next job.

In 1990 I was in the queue when McDonald's opened its 1st restaurant in Moscow: when iron curtains were crumbling & Russia was embracing the West. Today McDonald's announced it is temporarily closing its 850 restaurants in Russia. Hugely symbolic.

📻📻*New Episode *📻📻 What connects Dissenters and Dissidents, Quaker ideas of conscience and Amnesty International's "prisoners of conscience"? Tune in our discussion of the concept & practices of dissent with @AndrewMurphy123 & Tom Buchanan.

[International History Now @IntHistNow]

What is the relationship between the faith of dissenters and their political dissidence? At which point does the collision of dissenters with the cultural and legal system of their societies render them from powerless victims to powerful speakers and politicians?
