The Lockdown Sceptics site is a little hit-and-miss, which was partly mitigated by a search tool that enabled users to drill down and find articles by certain authors. Unless I’m missing something this has now disappeared, which is a great shame because consistently challenging, and brilliantly lucid, articles by Sinead Murphy have been a definite highlight.
Her book Zombie University is a deadly accurate analysis of what ails HE in the UK, see also the second link, below.
Here’s a recent piece of Sinead’s on the insidious rise of credentialed professionals, street-level bureaucrats, etc (neither of which terms she uses, I’d stress).
Also worth a read is this piece reflecting on a sunny day a week or so earlier…
Some academics are, thankfully, prepared to swim against the tide.
