Me, Chloe Kennedy, Alice Krzanich and Jacob Fredrickson have a large grant on ‘hurt feelings and the law’ in Scotland (1750 to present), which looks at how the law has compensated for hurt feelings. Defamation and related claims are part of that. I’ve been doing the defamation/slander material.

We’re thrilled to share this AHRC-funded PhD opportunity from Swansea University @swanseauni

“Serious about Play: Childhood, Play and Policymaking in Wales, 1945 to present” explores how Wales developed its own distinct stance of child’s play through the examination of postwar Welsh childhoods.

This article is good because it opens up a set of questions around how we interpret evidence and how different lenses shape what we see.

The problem with people pitching book reviews is you lose editorial control. 80% of the time that’s fine. The other 20% can be painful.

In Oz we now have a social media ban for under 16s. Might be they’re trying to keep on top of that?

More on the destruction of MqUni Arts. Every PoC in Sociology has been sacked or pushed into teaching only. Only 1 woman left in Politics & Intl Relations, & 1 in Sociology. At least 3/9 sacked academics are neurodiverse. Several successful researchers have been sacked or made teaching only. 2/2
