Suspending UK study visas for students from Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, and Cameroon was a disgraceful decision. I'm pleased to see my institution contributing to the Mosaik scholarship initiative. There should be more than 9 UK universities involved with this.

This was Emma’s last project. She gave it her everything, working out of hospitals in very difficult circumstances. In the end she ran out of time and life. I then spent the next 18 months doing my best to complete the project as Emma had envisaged it. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

This is key: Focusing on Trump's "contradictions" tends to perpetuate the idea that he doesn't have any actual convictions. It's true he doesn't care about specific policy positions.
But underneath that "flexibility" lies a very consistent worldview of grievance, domination, and hierarchies.

I think this piece makes too much of Trump’s supposed “contradictions.” For example, it is not a contradiction but the very essence of his politics that “law and order” applies to his opponents but not to him or his supporters.
