It’s full of anecdote & caricature. The real story of UK universities is structural, financial, and political. 🧵 👉 https://bsky.app/profile/profjonathanpotter.bsky.social/post/3lnuwyglepc27 [contains quote post or other embedded content]23 Sep 2025 16:53 +0000at://did:plc:7x67fdv3525cewt4bbvyymcs/app.bsky.feed.post/3lzjf4q3rr22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/profjonathanpotter.bsky.social/post/3lp7crr5pk22gAija Logren kicks off the Finnish Social Psychology conference.
