When I joined my own post-92 HEI we had degree courses in all the major European languages, specialised in Eaastern European languages (Russian, Czech, Bulgarian and more), had a centre for Cuban Studies. All long gone.

A triumphant outcome for UK higher education policy, regional economic development, and internalized market mentalities. Three cheers for the Minister for Universities. [Checks notes] There is no Minister for Universities.

The higher education participation rate for UK born Bangladeshi women went from around 2% (not a typo) in 1983 to nearly 67% in 2025 This must be one of the most dramatic, fast social changes in recent British history, and one that is barely noted or understood

This will be great! We planned to hold the conference in HK, but with on-going problems in the Middle East the CL organising group thought we should switch venues. Thanks so much to Mark and Stefania for stepping in. It will be a great conference in a great location - Venice!
