I recorded a version of the guest lecture I gave to art students at Edinburgh last week. I hope you all enjoy it. Includes all sorts of fun stuff about rats, Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, arte povera, Otto Rene Castillo, and more! youtube.com/watch?v=i3mNus-y…

Live Rats or The Art of Poverty: A Lecture for Young Artists

This is a re-recording of a lecture I was invited to give to first ...

Another day wondering if I can afford a copy of the latest critical edition of the primary source text I'm working on, which isn't stocked in any British uni library outside of Oxford and Cambridge, isn't in the National Library of Scotland, and which my uni won't buy.

full of sources? That's right, it doesn't exist. Either people are working with sources, looking for things and getting to know things, or people are working together on a set of sources they have already established and people already have a copy. But nobody is ever doing these

two things at the same time. So you have managed to make every library, which requires silence, noisy by putting in group work spaces that could be in literally any other noisy part of the university. This is an extraordinary amount of foolishness and shouldn't need explaining.

At some level if you want a society where most of the value is derived from a deregulated financial sector and the wealthy owning the homes of the poor, you probably don’t need universities. Right now, for every £1 spent in Britain visiting art galleries, £3 is spent on cocaine.

Can I propose an EFEF: the Excellence Framework Excellence Framework will require all Excellence Frameworks to provide an auditable submission of their undertakings over the last two decades in order to decide which future Excellence Frameworks we should prioritise funding.

I am not given to hyperbole when it comes to university industrial relations, but this feels like an existential event. The heart of the university is being torn out, with long-lasting consequences. These strikes are a last-ditch attempt to stop that. Will anyone listen?

Which is the dumbest? 1) that people don’t get that STEM as a concept is an attack on the arts and humanities; 2) that the arts and humanities were defeated by an acronym and some marketing; or 3) that an entire generation of students seems to buy this shit.
