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

Why not?

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):
