Two Interesting Articles in the Guardian this week....

This week the Guardian published two interesting articles that I would like to share with you  below. They do make you reflect on the current situation in the academic world and also in the recession-hit Europe....


This article discusses male-dominance in academia and women still struggle in the field - features a friend's mum who was one of the first female professors in the 90s:

This article is on the recession that has hit Europe and made professionals, whether natives or migrants, consider moving to other parts of the world - features a good friend who moved abroad last year after struggling to find work in the UK:
