The Academy of the Humanities tweets on the budget, yesterday

“It’s discouraging to see little recognition … of the importance of fundamental research for social and cultural good, and support more broadly for the nation’s cultural resilience and wellbeing through investment in infrastructure & institutions.

“We call on the next government to harness the power of the humanities, cultural and arts sectors to contribute to a thriving society and economy, a workforce for the future & to nourish the nation at a time of great need.”
