"In his Oscar acceptance speech, Jonathan Glazer issued a universal moral warning against dehumanization. His aim was not to descend to the level of political discourse.
Critics who expected a clear political stance or a film solely about genocide did not grasp the depth of his message.
'The Zone of Interest”' is not a film about the Shoah. It is primarily a profound warning about humanity and its nature."
Dr. Piotr M. A. Cywiński

@AERABourdieuSIG I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to describe habitus as an “ambiguous and cryptic concept”, or say that Bourdieu never provided “a clear, authoritative or coherent definition of the term in his work”. Also, there are no citations to any of that work in this paper.
On the "Is Hester racist?" question I pass the mic, as ever, to this timeless classic by @jsmooth995 for which I am eternally grateful. https://t.co/ShZni8pg91
They can buy cycling and soccer teams, but Ineos and companies like it are guilty of deliberately harming life on earth. They know the facts and carry on regardless.

‘[O]ur survey reveals a severely dejected coterie of academic staff no longer willing to accept what they perceive as punitive work regimes; the absence of an ethics of care…; the non-accountability among senior managers + dereliction of leadership…’ https://t.co/Qhz23azK0k
@SimonKatterl I know a bit about it and have heard some interesting stories about test-takers’ experiences, including neurodiverse students and those with disabilities. I see LANTITE as a case study in how *not* to do high-stakes testing. I’m interested in your legal perspective on it. DM me?

Lado also reviewed the Inter-American Tests, developed by Lado’s MA supervisor, Herschel T. Manuel. Of the Reading component, Lado said it was “as strong as any now available.” (p. 59)
According to Spolsky, Robert Lado worked on the Test of Aural Comprehension at University of Michigan. A couple of years later, in 1950, Lado wrote a review of this test (and several others) for the journal Language Learning. 1/2
Of the Test of Aural Comprehension, which he worked on, Lado said: “The scoring is, of course, no problem since the test is completely objective and the examiner simply uses a punched stencil to score it.” (1950, p. 57). 2/2
Shorten on the need for integrity within organisations: ‘We’ve got to not have groupthink within organisations, where the only way you get promoted is by kissing arse on the way up or by telling your bosses the good news and only the good news.”
@Final_Word_Pod@westfieldlondon@westfieldstrat Nice ep today, I really appreciate your comments on the Just Stop Oil (https://t.co/LUDhwyKG4u) action. For people who say ‘sport & politics shouldn’t mix’: grow up, not mentioning politics explicitly doesn’t mean it’s not present. Accepting sponsorship from Aramco is political.
