capacity. Believed whoever it was who said that social media are the lecture
theatres of tomorrow, and decided that they could also be the research seminars
of tomorrow. Reception of Thucydides, pre-modern economic and social history,
random thoughts about German literature and higher education, and occasional
music.”
