Text of the page (random words):
ear later having spent the final months of his life under house arrest kaiser wilhelm might be a little less the subject of popular vilification these days but what about churchill last month the scottish green politician ross greer msp expressed the view that winston churchill was a white supremacist and mass murderer it was certainly a good way of attracting attention and soon enough others got into the game the british labour party s shadow chancellor john mcdonnell mp when asked to say whether churchill was a hero or a villain judged him to be the latter this might be seen alongside the attempts in some british political circles of the left to argue that churchill s some time ally stalin was an heroic historical figure what do we take away from all this first it would be good advice to anyone asked to offer a summary judgement on political leaders of any generation to hesitate most people whatever their significance or role are not cartoon characters and good and bad traits are not rarely discoverable together in the same person secondly history is complex just as our present circumstances are also kaiser wilhelm was not a hero but neither was he necessarily a villain winston churchill may have been and actually was a white supremacist but his being so made little impact on history while his decision to stand firm against hitler indisputably did finally we do well to remember that what matters more than your evaluation or mine of great men is what happened to the millions of men and women whose names we do not know and whose lives were made better or worse by what these leaders did that judgement too will never be easy comments 1 comment centrifugal discourse posted february 5 2019 by universitydiary categories politics society tags brexit centrist leave means leave generally i like to be informed about the opinions held by people and groups with whom i disagree i may hold the views i hold but i am interested to hear from those who think differently and occasionally i change my mind so i do not support or like brexit i think it is a stupid idea i think it exposes the united kingdom to huge economic risks and perhaps more significantly it will lower its standing in the world but as in all things i could be wrong and so i like to listen to what brexiteers are saying and in that spirit i follow the twitter accounts of various people and groups who think it s all a great wheeze and who anticipate the sunlit uplands of the post march departure of the uk from the european union one of these accounts is that of the lobby group leave means leave if you are not familiar with them you can find their twitter feed here and their website here at first i just read lots tweets and opinion pieces and while disagreeing thought no more about them they didn t come across as persuasive to me because in truth they weren t trying to persuade me leave means leave is not really dedicated to changing anyone s mind its key strategy is to make those already committed to brexit really angry that it s not happening quickly enough and that it may involve compromises and if you re tempted to follow them also let me warn you that their twitter strategy is one of non stop buckshot sprayed across your screen i might describe their relationship with the world of facts as shall we say edgy in their world europe not just the eu is about to be shown as a busted flush everywhere else is great and the wto under whose rules the uk should in their view trade just brilliant why am i going on about the good folks at leave means leave well i think they are fruitcakes but that s not the point it is perfectly possible to advance persuasive arguments for brexit even if i mightn t agree with them but actually what s going on here and to be fair in a lot of other camps and arguments as well sometimes including those pushing for remaining in the eu is a drive not to persuade but to radicalise in a lot of this discourse the middle ground is now the most despised terrain here and elsewhere in the world and those arguing for a balanced view are often the most vilified people looking at social media i am often astonished at the bile thrown at those who raise polite questions or indicate mild scepticism about some idea or other cherished by committed ideologues of left or right and it s not just social media watching the bbc tv s question time exposes you to audience interventions delivered in expressions and tones of the raged fanatic debate is now about shouting and drowning out the other side not persuading them we are all the losers for that and those who govern us will be pushed more and more to take unreasonable and dangerous decisions so as some have suggested is the centre ground dead are our politics destined to shift from an angry view on one radical side to an angry view on the other the last time that happened some 90 years ago it didn t end well so i would plead let us pause and think on all sides comments 2 comments free speech in universities a new guide for england and wales posted february 5 2019 by universitydiary categories university tags freedom of expression as readers of this blog know the issue of freedom of expression in universities has frequently been in the news over recent years it has been alleged repeatedly that university communities have become bad at ensuring that a variety of views on controversial topics can be expressed without hindrance for example views that support conservative politics or certain arguments regarding transgender matters this has prompted a new guide on freedom of expression in higher education in england and wales prepared by the equality and human rights commission and supported by a variety of organisations including the uk government universities uk and the national union of students the guide points out that higher education providers have a legal duty to protect freedom of expression and that while some restrictions may be lawful the right to free expression should not be restricted just because other people may find it offensive or insulting it adds an intolerant point of view which offends some people is likely to be protected if it is expressed in a political speech or a public debate where different points of views are being exchanged and are open to challenge universities have found it difficult on occasion to balance free speech with the respect for those who find certain opinions offensive it his however important for students and indeed the wider society to hear views with which they may disagree or even disagree strongly this does not of course mean as some have suggested that there is some sort of epidemic of intolerance in higher education but it does mean that there is an issue here that needs attention whether the guide will help institutions to navigate these tricky waters remains to be seen but the guide does a good job of setting out both the legal obligations involved and the reasons for them it should be welcomed comments 1 comment going in deep posted january 28 2019 by universitydiary categories politics society tags conspiracy theories deep state depending on your personal wealth and investment habits you may not have heard of the american magazine investor s business daily i cannot comment intelligently on the reliability of its investment advice but i might suggest that based on the soundness of its political commentary you might want to step carefully if inclined to follow its other recommendations in 2009 the magazine suggested that if stephen hawking suffering as he was from motor neurone disease lived in the united kingdom and were relying on the nhs he wouldn t have a chance of getting treatment of course hawking did live in the uk and was treated by the nhs this egregious nonsense may give you a hint as to where the magazine s political sympathies lie so it may not surprise you that on an almost daily basis business investor s daily right now is pushing the suggestion that donald trump s presidency is being thwarted by deep state sabotage this sabotage is allegedly being carried out by various arms of government including the fbi and the justice department and indeed the cia in fact the deep state has become a key feature of american rightwing conspiracy theorists whole books are now being published with breathless revelations about a liberal elite running or ruining everyone s lives see for example the recent oeuvre the deep state how an army of bureaucrats protected barack obama and is working to destroy the trump agenda by jason chaffetz but before you start some eye rolling about what americans are willing to believe bear in mind that the deep state has also shoved its way into british political discourse just a week or two ago boris johnson warned that a deep state conspiracy was aiming to frustrate brexit this might not be so surprising given mr johnson s recently expressed admiration for mr trump but he is not a lone voice in britain either last september andrew murray an adviser to the labour party leader jeremy corbyn suggested that the deep state was undermining efforts to secure a labour government i am not really intending to suggest that there are no establishment forces within this or any society that might have their own inclinations as to what political direction is appropriate and be willing to act on those inclinations though for all that i tend to believe that democratic processes keep these forces reasonably in check my point here is that the deep state concept is being used not to thwart a secret establishment but to secure one there is no better argument in favour of authoritarian action than the usually uncorroborated allegation that there are secret societies undermining government conspiracy theories are the enemies of democracy not its defenders their fruits have not been freedom indeed they prompted genocide in the 20th century it really is time to stop peddling this nonsense comments 1 comment citizens of somewhere posted january 23 2019 by universitydiary categories politics tags citizens of nowhere nationalism not long ago a senior politician in the united kingdom suggested that those who saw themselves as citizens of the world were in reality citizens of nowhere i tend to take the view that brexit has encouraged on all sides contributions to debate that those making them may subsequently have regretted so i don t want this to be personal but the citizens of nowhere jibe does raise some questions which merit further discussion after the second world war the widespread nationalism of the 1930s was discredited and there followed an era of internationalism in which there was a growing emphasis on communities and on alliances that were more global in nature the idea of seeing one s own country as uniquely excellent and others as less admirable was against the spirit of the age and this contributed to the collapse of colonialism and also undermined the us in its prosecution of the vietnam war for me and maybe for others of my generation of a liberal persuasion the current trend to re assert nationalist principles even ones far less toxic than those of the 1930s is perhaps the most depressing aspect of the brexit and trump and orban era it is not that i would condemn patriotism but patriotism in its proper sense is about supporting the wider community in which we live and which supports us and not about about elevating our nation above others it is difficult to pinpoint where this resurgence of nationalism started in 2014 the economist magazine traced it back to india and its political system others have looked back further to the 1990s and argued that nationalism has been a response to the economic effects of globalisation which itself was a product of sorts of post war internationalism but it is clear that nationalist messages have started to resonate more widely with electorates in various countries some economists now link this trend with the risk of another global recession as major countries toy with protectionist policies that support their leaders nationalist rhetoric maybe i am just sad that my own set of values isn t universally shared and that these values no longer perhaps attract majority support or maybe we really are losing something that secured social and economic progress for the post war generations in the end i still hope we can be citizens of the world comments 4 comments the rise of the smart university posted january 15 2019 by universitydiary categories higher education society technology university tags elearning future of universities a few years ago for this blog i interviewed the then irish minister for education and science ruairi quinn he was one of those relatively rare examples of an education minister with a real understanding of and sympathy for higher education and indeed a set of civilised and cultured values however at the time he was trying to think through what needed to change in the university system and he offered the following thought if one were to take an early 20th century surgeon he suggested and transfer him to a 21st century operating theatre all he would be able to do that would be of any use would be to mop the patient s brow and sweep the floor take a professor from that era and put him in a 21st century lecture theatre and he would mostly feel at home and get on with the lecture so what had happened or not happened that made universities so immune to the passage of time one could of course argue and indeed argue emphatically with his premise most 21st century university lecture venues contain all sorts of new technology not least the screen with its egregious powerpoint slides our 20th century academic would have been astonished at and probably not that pleased with all the paperwork and audit trials and so forth he and it would be he would have noticed a much better though not perfect gender balance but then again if in his home era he had just purchased and read f m cornford s 1908 book microcosmographia academica he might well have found that much of its satire on academic life was totally apposite a hundred years later the argument might therefore be that the technology and bureaucracy and demographics had changed but the basic methodology and the academic outlook had not or something like that it is in this context that i wonder about concepts such as the smart university which has been explored in recent literature such as the book smart education and e learning 2016 by vladimir ustov et al springer verlag the authors explore the concept of the smart university and suggest that it must have a number of key elements to quality as such these being adaptation sensing inferring self learning anticipation self organisation and configuration restructuring and recovery they see the new university as being technology driven with far fewer boundaries between branches of scholarship reflected also in more fluid structures as we look into the higher education future we are bound to experience some tens...
