Elif Shafak on stage with a gold background and a pink banner saying The National Humanities lecture
What a joy to see our @rsliterature.bsky.social President Elif Shafak deliver the National Humanities Lecture at the School of Advanced Study @sas-news.bsky.social. A beautiful reflection on and defence of the long form of literature, and many other things too.
I wish I believed academia was ready for co-written dissertations in the humanities. Yeah, dissertations, paired work (or bigger teams!) between people with true expertise in different arenas. The most obvious/urgent (IMO) is in languages, but there are many kinds of expertise that might work.

Wow, what an analogy! And 💯 on the nose. I follow some sci/med types who rave about it constantly. But for most of the world I inhabit, it's lethal--ethically & intellectually. #AI #histSTM #histmed
Genuinely angry with the constant targeting of MFL for cuts - for colleagues and students, first, but also the dangerous shortsightedness of becoming a country where the cultural openness and critical skills which are central to MFL degrees will be lost and regarded as irrelevant.
