Universities in England at risk of long-term decline, says British Academy.

“You’ve got more languages students setting up successful start-ups than you do maths graduates, [...] so there’s a bit of myth busting that needs to go on.”

"Burawoy wanted sociology to turn itself around – from merely providing facts and abstractions, and discussing ideas and theories within academia’s self-defined cloisters of excellence – to enmesh itself within the lives of those who struggle to survive."

"That was why they became sociologists- not to make money but a better world."
