Statement from the President, Officers and my fellow Councillors of the Royal Historical Society condemning cuts in History at Oxford Brookes, and the assault on the humanities more widely #academicskyroyalhistsoc.org/history-at-o...

It is policies like this that make me question what it is to be human. If we fail to embrace our history, our arts and culture then what are we? Automatons that are here to serve the Tory party?

Yes, I’m afraid the idea is to turn any university outside of Oxbridge and the Russell Groups into vo-techs. Humanities in the UK is only for the rich it seems. It is a reinforcement of class and economic structures and a means to hollow out the intelligentsia.

Hell yes! It is way beyond time scientists and historians weaponised their knowledge against the drudge of modern politics.
