Massive congratulations to Joan Whelan for successfully defending her doctoral thesis today. Special thanks to her examiners Prof. Sean Blenkinsop and Prof. Charlotte Holland for their robust and thoughtful examination and Chair Dr Eamonn McCauley. Time to celebrate @DCU_IoE

@enm181 A bleak picture and begs the question- where is the resistance and is there any hope? Solidarity and collegiality are among the casualties of the iron cage of bureaucratized HE institutions. Together we can say and do something to alter the trajectory of individualised academia

@HenryGiroux Today in my university an Emiratee woman- HE Dr Amal Al Qubaisi was conferred with an honorary doctorate, she said "terrorism is the expression of extremism", how does this speak to Trump's actions?
