Like all my favourite research questions, this one really let me dwell in ambivalence.

"The idea that art should address the monstrous, that much of the moral office of art might lie in mak­ing us identify with the monstrous—identification not as consola­tion but as indictment—is entirely foreign to our current thinking."

@GillianPetit @LindsayTedds @AlexaAtherly @policy_school Agreed! Equally chuffed we have you as a boss. And that I have, at long last, received recognition for my entrepreneurial spirit.

An immense loss. Hilary Mantel wrote my favourite words.

[London Review of Books @LRB]

‘When you turn and look back down the years, you glimpse the ghosts of other lives you might have led; all houses are haunted.’

Hilary Mantel wrote many wonderful pieces for the LRB and we’d hoped she’d write many more: https://t.co/lykCjiOayZ

Words, however lazily chosen, matter.Language evokes histories, reflects what we deem allowable&true, articulates possibilities—it creates/sustains/reproduces power relations.When DCS named an Indian problem the wording wasn't vague.What are we doing when we use such words today?

what a loss
