Study: Conservatives silencing themselves on campus

Study: Conservatives silencing themselves on campus

On many campuses, the political bias is massive, to the point that a student could easily spend all four years on campus without hearing any “conservative” opinions, much less meeting an actual conservative professor. Trouble is, despite what our legacy media keeps screaming at us, lots of people have conservative views. This includes devout followers […] … learn more→

School sanctions: about the rehabilitation of

School sanctions: about the rehabilitation of “lines”

“You’ll copy me a hundred times:” I do not have to wear a cap in class “”. If this response to the incivility of a student looks outdated, could it still resonate in classes today? In any case, this modality of punishment was indeed recommended by Jean-Michel Blanquer, during the presentation on October 31, 2018 of its action […] … learn more→

How to choose a thesis topic that actually matters

How to choose a thesis topic that actually matters

It was in the final year of my bachelor studies  I first found out how hard it is to find a good thesis topic.

Ethics in an age of data breaches

Ethics in an age of data breaches

In August 2015, a hacking group released data from AshleyMadison.com, a website designed to attract funds from men seeking an extramarital affair.

College students with disabilities are too often excluded

College students with disabilities are too often excluded

AnnCatherine Heigl, a sophomore at George Mason University, recently attempted to join all eight sororities at her school. All eight turned her down. If you ask her sister, who Tweeted about how the experience left AnnCatherine “unwanted and devastated,” the reason the sororities denied AnnCatherine is because she has a disability: Down syndrome. This kind of outright rejection […] … learn more→

Getting to grips with ‘the paragraph’

Getting to grips with ‘the paragraph’

I was recently asked how I felt about paragraphs. “Well you know, all the feels” I might have replied. But I didn’t, largely because I don’t usually think about the paragraph. The question made me wonder whether I take the paragraph for granted. Paragraphs sit way below my consciousness a lot of the time. But […] … learn more→

Yale survey lets us look at our future leaders

Yale survey lets us look at our future leaders

Ah, “The Ivy League.” The phrase justifiably conjures up romanticized notions of the best and brightest, the future shapers of the world. Now, I’ve had a few friends go there, and even have a few colleagues working there, so my own notions are stained with dark smears of “reality,” but the fact remains: throughout the […] … learn more→

British Empire is still being whitewashed by the school curriculum – historian on why this must change

Jeremy Corbyn has recently proposed that British school children should be taught about the history of the realities of British imperialism and colonialism. This would include the history of people of colour as components of, and contributors to, the British nation-state – rather than simply as enslaved victims of it. As Corbyn rightly noted: “Black history […] … learn more→
