@Neil_Sadler @kathleenk1982 @PiotrBlum Sorry, it is such a late retweet. But I am thrilled for you all!

[Neil Sadler @Neil_Sadler]

Yesterday I submitted an application for a grant to support a project with @kathleenk1982 and @PiotrBlum exploring the interconnections between epistemology, identity and translation in international education.

Exciting but mostly terrifying to finally see it go in!

Day 5: Selected Political Writings: The Great Moving Right Show and other essays by Stuart Hall

[Yangyang Long @YangyangLong]

@laurenlquigley @jrillingworth @mckennamichaelg My French is very poor, so I may not have had as much tantalizing reading pleasure as you & my friends did... but my favorite part is the discussion, about many other literature on airport and borderlands, such as Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Refugees. That’s the one I really enjoyed.

[Yangyang Long @YangyangLong]

@Neil_Sadler I never understand the conceptual distinction between “classics” & “cliche”, and the original & its many afterlives. Yet I fully agree with John Dryden when he says that “The Second Temple was not like the First.”
