SOAS Sanctuary Scholarships Fundraiser!


*We have launched a crowdfunder for the SOAS Sanctuary Scholarships.*


At a time when borders are closing around the world, and people are turning

their backs on the displaced and dispossessed, SOAS is determined to take a

stand to support these vulnerable people.


We can play our part by helping ensure a generation of people does not miss

out on higher education.


We have launched the *SOAS Sanctuary Scholarships *, to give people

affected by forced migration who cannot access student finance, the

opportunity to enter higher education in the UK.


It is imperative that our whole university works together in demonstrating

meaningful solidarity by creating an inclusive and diverse space, that

allows people to flourish both personally an academically.We must

collectively take a stance against social exclusion, racism and xenophobia

and sit on the right side of history with ordinary people who are living

through extraordinary times.


*Please donate anything you can and invest in someone's future who is

systematically being blocked! *

titch juicy asked why uncleglen wrote 'NO'. Who knows. But I recognise that these signifiers were quite provocative to anyone qualifying as a Ruritanian (in the sense defined by Gellner in Nations and Nationalism):

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
