I'm on my way to Cambridge to lead, with Professor Tony Booth, the faculty's Writers' Workshop. This is a superb opportunity to work alongside colleagues who want to begin writing in their academic careers and Cambridge is a great place to 'get away from it all' to start that process.Tony and me have been running these trips for a number of years and it gets more and more popular the longer we run it and as word has spread.
The poster, by the way, comes from the USA - seems to suggest that teachers are recognised as holding a unique form of social power that should be feared by those who rule society...Teachers may look very wholesome and innocent but...
Once upon a time, in my other, older life in the United States, a very kind and caring professor told me to never EVER tell ANYONE EVER that I was a socialist, because I would be promptly blacklisted and never find work as a teacher again in the good ol' US of A.
