Boosting this thread for the Monday crowd, I am genuinely proud of how at @NSSRNews Econ we can turn motivated humanities BAs into progressive MA/MS economists with the technical skills needed to thrive in policy environments and make real change. More infos âŹď¸
Our master's programs provide the training needed to contribute to serious, progressive policy analysis in NYC and beyond. It is even for the math-phobic! Our curriculum helps students without an economics/STEM background build the skills needed to succeed in our coursework. 2/

Forgot about this book. Would be interesting to see a review essay on this and the recent Marxism in America book.

Gets my goat when Marx's critical theory is said to entail reducing natural appearances to the social relations that create them. As if the whole point isn't the criticism of these social relations and the society they entail....

âOasisâ rise meant .. . . The c*nts taking over. The âproperâ homophobic mildly racist lads. The rejection of âpoofinessâ stylistically, the reassertion of the English Rock Defence Leagueâs tiny-minded ideas abouârealâ âproperâ musicâ https://t.co/oTc2Bvv5vp
The Gallagher brothers of the band Oasis famously grew up in working-class Manchester. But they were also children of Thatcherite England, and it shows. Under a thin veneer of class consciousness, their music always glamorized individual ambition.

Portland State University violated faculty labor contract. Decision orders reinstatement and back pay for laid-off faculty; victory underscores a broader struggle against disinvestment, union-busting, and the erosion of academic governance
