  • Why Politicians Cannot Make Intelligent Captain’s Call.

    Why Politicians Cannot Make Intelligent Captain’s Call.

    Higher education works theoretically as a collegial enterprise. In denial of the culture-history nonsense, a collegial process does not end up in a mess of indecision, if the principles of collegial dialogue are adhered to. There are more agreement than disagreement among intellectuals, and it is only the nonsense of the culture-history ‘know-nothing’ that says…

    Ruth at the Turn of the Century

    His work so absorbed him. Could she hear him? Could she see him? All aglow was his room, Dazed in this light. He would touch her, He would hold her. Laughing as they danced, Highest colours touching others. Did her eyes at the turn of the century, Tell me plainly. … In the still light…

    Redirecting the Anger at the Blips

    “And it seems possible now, as online television, to service seriously thinking community workers. The best way to deal with the anger, at the blip who deliberate forced closures of community enterprises, is to restore community enterprises anew against the wishes of the blips.”       Let’s be clear, our economy is structured for…

  • Would our Australian “history” industry push for this “new” global “innovation” to be re-established in Australian universities?

    Would our Australian “history” industry push for this “new” global “innovation” to be re-established in Australian universities?

    “Once again, there are signs of deep trouble for the humanities in higher education — in the Western world, if not the world as a whole. News of closures trickles in relentlessly.
