[SSC] The Red Pill

[Peter Somerville]

 Yes, I agree. I actually got into academia by accepting a lectureship
at an FE college (which Mike decided not to do), which later turned into
a HEI.

Thanks, Mike, that was a really interesting read. It might be something
we encourage more of at the SSC to show students and prospective
students that we all come from different backgrounds and there are many
ways to higher education.

It occurred to me that sociology was very much like the red pill in the
film the Matrix, where the lead character Neo takes a pill to help him
see the world in a different way. I wanted to share this with you all at
the SSC, because in a way, I think we all have a relationship with the
red pill.
