In Malmo initiating SATNAV:Sweden network, w Neema Trivedi-Bateman, Anna-Karin Ivert & Sadia Khan. Tomorrow, we workshop the potential for @satnavproject.bsky.social in Swedish schools w educators, crime prevention practitioners & policymakers. [Workshop hosted/funded by Faculty of Health & Society]
We have a policy (guided by sage) to avoid language about anonymous peer review that is potentially non inclusive or ableist (and encourage authors and reviewer's to also avoid it) but 'masked' is way more exciting than 'anonymous'!
I'm not against this (speaking as an individual not on behalf of my journal) but I've also heard really compelling arguments for open review ...... There is a lot to consider but it needs careful thought to reduce bias where we can.
What's that? (Sounds COOL)

Yes, so just making the author names anonymous until after first screening/assignment at least would mitigate this?
Ps inclusive language means avoiding use of the word 'blind' when referring to anonymous processes, something I'm learning to build into our communications. 👍🏻
Interested. What's the specific concern? I'm not against the principle. At the point of assigning AE (or immediate rejecting, which is pre a desk reject from an AE in our case), I barely notice author names, personally I wouldn't mind if author names were anonymous at this point.
This panel, today at 2pm.

As the conference gets bigger this is more common but totally pointless, nobody can say anything intelligible AND interesting in the tiny amount of time available. Our prearranged panel of 4 was given a shorter time slot than usual, so effectively the same problem.
It's just not fair on presenters to have 8am sessions. You get funding, put time into preparing a presentation, travel, and regardless of how interesting your panel might be are guaranteed a tiny audience.
This #ESC2025 panel includes a presentation by Andrzej Uhl of his study of corrupt decision-making. I assisted with the write-up which is due to be published soon (accepted for publication following peer review) but is currently available at crimrxiv.com/pub/lprj4j3i...

Morality & moral decision making:
#ESC2025 #ESC_eurocrim panel 4pm TODAY.

As the ESC marks its 25th anniversary, this roundtable explores what the next 25yrs of European criminology might look like. Drawing on the insights of mid-career criminologists from across Europe and a range of research areas, the discussion will explore possible future directions for the field.
Discussion & insights from: Jakub Drapal, Csaba Gyory, Anita Lavorgna, Kjersti Lohne & Olga Pentitseva, (though not me now!); chaired by Anna di Ronco.
#LongCovid means being forced to pull out of this #ESC2025 conference roundtable but it should be a good discussion with the other invited mid-career criminologists!

Time for a new wave of PADS+ data collection. Visiting the PADS+ office meeting Kyle and Beth, and our new research assistants (Katie, Rhianna, Giulia) who will be doing the most important job interviewing the participants. And of course it was time for a coffee!
Dr Neema Trivedi-Bateman and I are coming to the end of our first international SATNAV:Compass delivery in a specialised school in Southern China (Delivery Lead Dr Xiaoya Xun). We're looking forward to sharing this work at the #EuroCrim20205 conference in Athens next week! @satnavproject.bsky.social
