We are an anti-abortion couple, and we are here to save you. Because if you agree not to have an abortion, we will adopt your baby for you.

And then, when it comes out, we will adopt it for you, so you don’t ever have to worry about it again.

Back in 2011, with a view to engaging students through different teaching methods, we launched a poetry competition on the core MA module "Theories and Concepts in International Relations" at the University of Nottingham. After all, Roland Bleiker has himself emphasised the role of the poetic image in challenging dominant modes of thinking and practice within International Relations. With that aim in mind, the winning poem was by Zubeda Mir that sits admirably alongside the social criticism of Benjamin Zephaniah!

from Lars Syll Economics students today are complaining more and more about the way economics is taught. The lack of fundamental diversity — not just path-dependent elaborations of the mainstream canon — and narrowing of the curriculum, dissatisfy econ students all over the world. The frustrating lack of real-world relevance has led many of them […]
