Why do Cambridge History Faculty regulations specify that dissertations have to be typed on paper, you ask?

"the English Faculty ... recently received a dissertation which complied with all their regulations and was written upon a fish! It had to be sent back in great haste to the candidate."

For some odd reason, I don't seem to be able to post images right now... possibly a problem with my Mastodon instance?

Alas, here is a link to the post with the images on the bird app:

Springer Link is currently advertising on Spiegel Online. The main two books which it shows to me are (left) a book in which I have a chapter and (right) a book in which my wife has a chapter.

Should I be (a) happy by the fact that our work is advertised to potential readers (b) freaked out by the level of data which made this ad possible (c) surprised by the failure of the system which is advertising a book to me which I obviously won't buy (since we have author copies).

#introduction
Hello everyone.

I have just migrated from a different Mastodon server, because this place is managed by an established institution of our community and because I prefer to know who the admin is.

I am history and politics lecturer at the University of Cambridge & The British University in Egypt.

I did my DPhil in Oxford on Sudanese nationalism and political parties in the 50s and 60s. I have recently been working on sovereignty as a practice from a global perspective.
