		<description><![CDATA[If you have not already signed the petition, I urge you to do so NOW! The University cuts we are going through will not make substantial difference to the overall budget, while they may cause chaos to Humanities and Social Sciences. Adam Smith from UCL is collecting signatures, so that we may avoid the worst. Specifically, he says that: &#8220;If you haven&#8217;t already, take a look at this site http://humanitiesmatter.wordpress.com/ and if you agree with the general thrust of it, please sign the petition and circulate as widely as possible. A lot of the problem with defending humanities in universities is that we don&#8217;t all agree about the best arguments to use &#8212; whether to &#8216;play their game&#8217; and make the case on the grounds of our contribution to the economy, or whether to argue on the basis of the intrinsic social &#38; cultural value of humanities a la Stefan Collini. This site is trying to build a coalition bringing together everyone who believes that HE teaching in humanities should be publicly supported, for whatever reason. Obviously e-petitions are unlikely in themselves to change policy any more than chucking fire extinguishers will, but scientists have quite rightly mobilised effectively behind &#8220;Science is Vital&#8221; and if humanities and social scientists don&#8217;t make similar efforts I think we&#8217;ll be even more vulnerable than we are already. At the very least it&#8217;s hard to see it doing any harm&#8230;&#8221;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago the Italian government announced severe cuts in public costs in attempt to ‘save’ the economy from the disgrace that Greece is going through. It seems that, among other cuts, they decided to sacrifice to the altar of money the Italian Institute of Archaeology at Athens. This School was established in 1909 and celebrated its centenary anniversary only last year. Apart from its celebrated library, it also operates the excavations at Aegialeia, Thuria, Poliochne, Hephesteia, Chloe, Phaistos, Aghia Triada and Gortyna. The fate of all of these excavations is currently at stake. Our Italian colleagues are looking for our support. They set up a website where you can sign their online petition. The website is http://www.petizionionline.it/petizione/cessazione-dei-finanziamenti-alla-saia-cronaca-di-una-morte-annunciata/1363 . The petition can be signed at the form Firma La Petizione. I am afraid the site is in Italian. Just enter your name and email before you click on the button Firma. There are already 740 signatures.]]></description>
