Excellent articles in SCA newsletter - again
14 September 2023
The introduction to the latest newsletter, by editor Angus Hardie, has some interesting reflections on ageism, as well as the usual clutch of interesting articles. This really is a must-read bulletin, or if you are pressed for time at least scan the headers for items of interest.
