1. Nina Power’s Infinite Thought Blog has posted details of an upcoming talk by Martha Nussbaum in London entitled: “Not for Profit: Why Democracy needs the Humanities.” How appropriate and timely! Details also available on the British Academy website.
2. Stuart Elden at Progressive Geographies has posted details of another excellent David Harvey video. Definitely worth taking a look.
