Feminist Friday: the problems of commodity feminism

by Rachel Ashenden

Neoliberalism has become so pervasive that we seldom recognise it as an ideology. Simply put, it is the belief that everything has a price tag and can be made into a consumable product. It sees competition as the defining characteristic of human relations. So by naively believing that it’s in our nature to be competitive […]

New VP slams “anti-Semitic” accusations

by Rachel Ashenden

The election of Malaka Shwaikh to three roles in the recent Students’ Guild elections has caused controversy, with the postgraduate student accused of anti-Semitism. However, the student insists she “will fight against all forms of racism, including anti-Semitism.” Shwaikh , a 26-year-old Palestinian refugee from Shijaia, Eastern Gaza, was elected as VP Research Postgraduate uncontested, […]

Students want staff trained in mental health after mitigation investigation

by Rachel Ashenden

A Student Idea on the Guild website has proposed that the university should introduce compulsory staff training for mental health, with the intention to improve student-staff relationships through knowing how to deal with its effects on learning. The anonymous student who proposed the idea claimed that they were influenced by Exeposé’s investigation into mitigation policies […]

From the rubble: Exeter rebuilds

by Rachel Ashenden

In the wake of the destructive fire at the Royal Clarence Hotel, and several other recent fires in the city, Exeposé have spoken to the business owners whose lives have been disrupted. The community has pulled together to ensure businesses reopen for the overall benefit of the city centre. There has been an abundance of […]

Unit 1 under fire after bartender “blacks up” for DSP

by Rachel Ashenden

Unit 1 has apologised for offence caused during its Halloween DSP party – which saw one bartender “blacking up” for the evening. A white bar manager wore an afro wig and darkened his face for his shift on the club’s Halloween special version ‘Return of the Killer Clowns’ for DSP Monday, as shown in a […]

by Rachel Ashenden

Exeter Student Minds has set up a project providing peer support for those with eating difficulties, due to begin in term two. The support group plans to hold fortnightly or weekly sessions, run by two trained specialists in eating disorders. These sessions will be “drop-in”, so that students can come along whenever they are in need […]

Turtle Bay Review + Win a Meal for 4!

by Rachel Ashenden

Turtle Bay was bustling. Business seemed to be doing well just after opening, when myself and Online Lifestyle Editor Lucy Ronan arrived for our press evening. It’s a students’ dream when you can order absolutely anything off the menu, entirely for free. We overestimated our stomach capacities when we panic ordered 4 cocktails, 2 mains, […]

Let’s get avocontrol: Dark chocolate and orange zest cookies

by Rachel Ashenden

These fragrant and indulgent cookies are tastiest paired with candied chocolate orange dippers. Rather than setting yourself that tricky and unnecessary technical challenge of homemade jaffa cakes, here you can have the same flavour combination packed into a gooey cookie. They will keep in an air tight container for 3 days – so from a […]

Let’s get avocontrol: food in Brexit Britain

by Rachel Ashenden

Now, I never intended for this column to be ultra-political, I promise it will remain lighthearted. However, I want to discuss the gastronomical repercussions on the UK’s democratic decision to leave the EU. Once Article 50 is triggered, my current student readers will (for the most part) have secured a swanky career, and won’t need to […]

Let’s get avocontrol: Middle Eastern meze

by Rachel Ashenden

Review: Dinosaur café This restaurant’s exterior and name hardly gives off Michelin star vibes (please don’t call me a snob). So much so, that I live across the road from the place, and this is the first time I decided to try it. I was blown away by the menu. It’s fantastically priced and has […]
