A good one to re-read by @jana_bacevic - "the ‘student experience’, in this myth, is a form of poverty tourism or bootcamp... Poverty is not a rite de passage for those who stay poor throughout their life, and there is no glory in recalling the days of drinking cheap cider if, ten years down the line, you doubt you’ll be able to afford much better. Increasingly, however, that is all of us." https://janabacevic.net/2017/07/05/the-poverty-of-student-experience/

Please read; the most important piece I've written. Mass poisoning has suddenly killed off most sea life for 30 miles by the Tees. The govt claims it's natural; ind scientists warn it's manmade. The govt is desperate not to inquire too deeply as its freeport policy is at stake.

Remember, #Santa's "naughty list" is a technology of Foucauldian discipline invented by a soft cultural hegemony that has enshrined 'the family' as the unit of #capitalism's production of good compliant workers.
Furthermore, the only children who *actually* don't get any presents are not naughty, but poor.
Reminder that the final meeting of the Ethics of Ambiguity reading group this year is today (Friday), 1-2PM BST - excellent if you'd like to do a bit of philosophical discussion as antidote to Xmas dinner table conversation 😃
Open to everyone, more info & how to join here: https://janabacevic.net/2022/11/27/ethics-of-ambiguity-reading-group/
Hi all! Over the winter break, I'm running a reading group on Simone de Beauvoir's Ethics of Ambiguity, one of the key texts of existentialist philosophy. The group is open to all and no prior training/detailed knowledge is necessary! The second session is Friday, 23 December, 1-2PM BST. We'll be reading the crucial second chapter, Personal Freedom and Others. Details, link to online version of the text, and how to join here: 👇 https://janabacevic.net/2022/11/27/ethics-of-ambiguity-reading-group/
