Latest work in Sheffield for M le Magazine du Monde. ‘Students are missing in Sheffield. The campus is deserted and the amphitheatres are quiet. Departed to their cities and countries of origin or isolated in narrow apartments, they are suffering the lockdown in full force. But the expected recovery in April won’t solve the problem. Brexit, coupled with the withdrawal of the UK from the Erasmus exchange system, will continue to push foreign students away. Run like private companies, these institutions draw most of their income from tuition and donations, since the UK state nearly stopped during higher education. In the UK’s largest universities, foreign students make up to 34% of the attendance, and inject £10 billion a year into the countries economy.’
