However, amidst all the uncertainty and stress of the last few months, I feel proud of the way staff and students have adapted to ever-changing circumstances and the huge commitment they have shown to maintain our missions of education and research in hugely difficult circumstances. At the University of Nottingham, this has been a year of two Of course, our research has been at the forefront of the battle distinct halves, divided along the fault line of the coronavirus against Covid-19 this year. From working towards a vaccine, to pandemic. While the year began as we prepared for more familiar assessing the societal impact of the disease and helping to inform issues – Brexit, new regulatory demands, potential reforms to the public, our scholars continue to bring their expertise to bear. student fees and increasing global competition – it ended with The pandemic has left its mark on 2020 in the most profound a challenge on an altogether different scale, as we adapted to ways, touching almost every aspect of our lives.

Moving ways of adapting to the constraints that we must endure to keep to a ‘blended’ teaching model on a Covid-secure campus was ourselves safe. an enormous task, and I would like to put on record again my thanks for the hard work of the staff who made it possible.

Despite all the difficulties of the year, we have made many positive steps for the future.

It was the result of an extensive changing situation that has led to us living and working in an consultation with staff and students on all our campuses, entirely different way. I know we will all continue to play our parts providing us with an ambitious and positive direction of travel in preparing the next generation of leaders, our students, as they in these testing times. in turn prepare to shape the future. The strategy includes a pledge to support the city of Nottingham in its ambition to become carbon-neutral by 2028, underlined by our own Estates Development Framework which will help to cut carbon outputs and increase energy efficiency across all our operations. That spirit of collaboration underpins our new civic agenda – Foreword by the Universities for Nottingham – which will harness the collective will of the county’s biggest institutions to deliver economic, social, health and environmental benefits to residents.

    Vol. 15: 39–47, 2015 ETHICS IN SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS Published online May 27 doi: 10.3354/esep00157 Ethics Sci Environ Polit Contribution to the Theme Section ‘Academic freedom and tenure’ OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS AS I SEE IT The erosion of academic freedom in UK higher education Anna Traianou* Department of Educational Studies, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, SE14 6NW, UK ABSTRACT: In this article, I treat ‘academic freedom’ as referring to the autonomy that academics need if they are to do their work well, on analogy with what is required in other professional occupations. In these terms, I argue that there are 2 aspects of academic freedom: the degree of autonomy that universities have from governments, and the autonomy that academics have within universities. Using this framework, I explore how, from the 1980s onwards, UK governments have increasingly intervened in higher education, on the basis of the assumption that universities must serve the economy, seeking to maximize and measure the ‘returns’ on public investment. I argue that these external developments have promoted internal changes within universities away from collegial modes of organization and towards more managerial ones, and as a result have signifi- cantly reduced academic freedom. I conclude by briefly examining developments in the UK in terms of a rather different conception of academic freedom, one that is currently quite influential, which virtually identifies it with ‘free speech’ for academics and students. KEY WORDS: Academic freedom · Neoliberalism · New public management · UK higher education · Professionalism · Free speech INTRODUCTION which have not opposed the siege of Gaza (see But- ler 2006, Goldberg 2013, Robin 2014).

  • Azad Kashmir
    Azad Kashmir The home of British Kashmiris Waving flags of their countries of origin by some members of diaspora (overseas) communities in public space is one of the most common and visible expressions of their ‘other’ or ‘homeland’ identity or identities. In Britain, the South Asian diaspora communities are usually perceived as Indian, Pakistani, (since 1971) Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans. However, there is another flag that is sometimes sighted on such public gatherings as Eid festivals, Pakistani/Indian Cricket Matches or political protests across Britain. 1 This is the official flag of the government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. 'Azad Kashmir' is a part of the divided state of Jammu Kashmir. Its future is yet to be determined along with rest of the state. As explained below in detail, Azad Kashmir is administered by Pakistan but it is not part of Pakistan like Punjab, Sindh, Pakhtoon Khuwa and Baluchistan. However, as a result of the invasion of India and Pakistan to capture Kashmir in October 1947 and the subsequent involvement of United Nations, Pakistan is responsible for the development and service provision including passports for the people of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, another part of Kashmir that is not part of, but is controlled by, Pakistan. Under the same UN resolutions India is responsible for the Indian controlled part of Kashmir. In all parts of the divided Kashmir there are political movements of different intensity striving for greater rights and autonomy, self-rule and/or independence. The focus of this chapter, however, is primarily on Azad Kashmir, the home of nearly a million strong British Kashmiri community.
