The traditional image of the binge drinking student is being slowly shattered as statistics show that young people today drink less than in past decades. The number of young adults who choose low or no alcohol drinks to help moderate their drinking has nearly doubled since 2018, according to a Drinkaware poll. Are the current generation simply prioritising their health? Or are other factors, such as economics, social stigma, and safety, at play?
We interviewed Sir Stephen Houghton, Labour leader of Barnsley council, on the rise of the far right, the importance of local government, and where young people fit in politics.
Our lecturers are mysterious individuals. Most of us know very little about them aside from the occasional shared anecdote from their lives beyond teaching. Of course, we know they’re academics, we know they’re especially skilled in what they’re teaching us, but it’s easy to forget that they are learning, researching, and writing while they’re here, too.
You may have seen Catcalls of Sheffield’s chalking project on social media. It began in April 2024, when founders Flo Rushton and Babhravi Krishnan, both students at the University of Sheffield, decided to take a stand against the frequent occurrence of harassment in the city and give those who have experienced it an opportunity to reclaim their narratives.

The world of Alfred Hitchcock’s filmography is a surreal one. Every man a murderer or spy.
Every woman a femme fatale or murder victim. It is a violent universe of crime, paranoia and sexuality, and yet, paradoxically, a world without blood, sex or nudity. Whilst the modern filmmaker resorts to violent scenes of dismembered heads, naked bodies and Bacchic revelry, Hitchcock’s approach is one of subtlety, symbolism and cinematic technique. For all the bluster of modern filmmaking, there is yet to have been a filmmaker able to create a world quite as dangerous or seedy, as Alfred Hitchcock.
