Harvard University’s graduate student union went on strike this week to demand higher wages for all graduate student workers and more protections for immigrant student workers. The university has countered with an offer to raise salaries more modestly. #union #harvard #highed

The book "Stranieri. Itinerari di vita studentesca tra XIII e XVIII secolo", which I edited for the anniversary of the establishment of the University of #Padova, is finally available in #openaccess.

Questo volume osserva l’università come punto di incontro tra uomini di età diverse e di origini geografiche molteplici. Ciò vale in particolar modo per l’Ateneo patavino, che deve le sue origini proprio a una migrazione di scolari. Un evento circoscritto, che tuttavia rientra nel fenomeno più ampio e diffuso della mobilità accademica che caratterizza il medioevo e la prima età moderna.
In the same issue of the ‘Annali di Storia delle Università Italiane’, there is also a review by G.P. Brizzi of 'Stranieri. Itinerari di vita studentesca tra XIII e XVIII secolo', which I edited with C. La Rocca for the 800th Anniversary of the University of #Padova.

I just returned from a longer sick-leave and did not dare to join the protest in Ten Haag today. But I am following the news and hope that reason will prevail. #HighEd #Netherlands

I forgot to mention this week that the ASA (American Sociological Association) has updated their citation manual. I am going to be busy at work this term. I update our citation resources. I honestly do not know what they will do when I graduate. No one else wants this job. Not bragging; people hate working on citations.
