A blog on archaeology, objects and their interpretation. Learning to Read: Or how one eight minute Youtube video taught me more than five years of university. But should we only aspire to this passage of school through to university education? Look, for example, at me: this week I learnt how to speed-read from an eight minute YouTube video [ https:/ www.youtube.com/watch? And for me, this has given me more social capital and standing than any of my time at UCL and Oxford ever did. No Reading is about hav...

I think in our times of the unexpected becoming the normal, this adage needs an update: ‘there is only one thing worse than it is happening, and that is us failing to learn from what’s happening’. 8211; that has survived the government’s cuts to other, less geographically fortunate boroughs in the country (coincidentally, it...
