- It bears constant repetition that expertise is nurtured slowly over a very long time. It doesn’t bounce back like a rubber band with every flex of a spreadsheet. Once it is gone, it can’t be rapidly rebuilt overnight or on demand. P.S. a lot of Research and innovation happens at unis.
- Do come along next Monday!

- Am presenting tomorrow at this IHR seminar on the Ugandan Asians, to see the ways in which applying categories of migration can divorce skills and value the humanity of people who hold them - and so from notions kin, community, language, of fears and of dreams. Tragically well timed, alas.

- A useful reminder that understanding verifiable sources, building plausible arguments and interpreting varied information about human experiences - the bread and butter of the Humanities, and certainly of History - is more necessary than ever.
