I had no idea about the colonial plan to build a great salt hedge in the Indian subcontinent ( but i am not surprised either). Really enjoyed listening to this artist-led, academic/public history podcast on salt and other things. channel.somersethouse.org.uk/podcasts/proce…

A student of mine is looking for student housing/ accommodation in Utrecht, starting August 2025. The housing situation is rather dire. If anyone has any suggestions or leads, please share.

While social security for platform workers has finally become a part of mainstream discourse, there remains a need to consider what labour conditions are for platform workers. In light of the strike of BluSmart workers strike this becomes even more urgent.
