The State of Academic Freedom and Prof Docherty

On 28 December 2014, hardcover copies of the book “Universities at War” by Professor Thomas Docherty started to be available at Amazon. The author is professor of English and of comparative literature at the University of Warwick and has published books on his broad reaching specialisations.

Why I Don’t Get Things Done Sometimes

There are times when I can’t seem to get things going in some areas of my life. I am busy with work in the office, studying in school and tutoring students in subjects in which they need to catch up.
