I don't study politics, but I do study culture, and here are some of the signs that a cultural shift has been brewing for years in America that most of the professional political analysts just completely missed. Some of these may seem absurd, but hear me out. 🧵 We'll start

Lovely to catch up with the @UofGCCPR PGR community at the start of this academic year. Always great to share practice and knowledge with peers. Thanks always to @zeinalmaha94 for fuelling us with lovely sweets. @WeiUofg @JohnKunFang

From our #MakeLearn Report 'Craft and Making Education in Scotland Today' by @RJBDevelops: 'In the Nations Brand Index, which measures a country’s national image and identity, #craft is consistently one of the most recognised features of Scotland’s culture and heritage.' (1/2)

Sad news - I was introduced to the short fiction of Alice Munro in my undergrad @UofGlasgow and it’s something I’ve gone back to time and time again. Open Secrets in particular is gut wrenching and beautiful.
