Always great to hear directly from the sector leaders about how to structure systematic change. Some key insights include: unlocking the potential of the sector, creating enabling conditions and understanding the history and power dynamics of exist relationships. #vssn2025 #vsvr25

Branden Bingle talking a bout the barriers for people engaging in health and social care research. Importance of ‘what’s in it for them’ reflects what we see in our research as well. Need to show the value of participation. #vssn25 #vsvr25

@prof-stig.bsky.social asking very important questions of the role of civil society in community cohesion. Right now we need ways to come together so his team is looking at what’s been found from previous study. #pppconf2025

Valeria Guarneros-Meza’s work reinforces some of things we are seeing in our own vcse mapping project about lack of understand of work of the sector and importance of the sector. #pppconf2025

Always thought provoking @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social! Important to really think about realities of participatory work. We often see this in the voluntary sector: balancing the demands on the sector, the degree of support needed to join in research and articulating the benefits to them. #pppconf2025

Some insights from #scos2025 with Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan getting us to reflect on different gendered aspects of work as well as Agnieska and Igor Postula having us consider the odd liminal spaces of managers. Lots of ideas of work to revisit.

Excellent workshop from @lfb500.bsky.social and Caro Hunter! #scos2025

Experiencing Crossings through Craft - using the new materials approach. Really felt emotional about giving over a creation to others and learning a lot about communication and collaboration!

Extremely important discussion about queerness and work. Some similar themes to race and work here. Eg inclusion, having to constantly educate, and various forms of conforming to pass at work. Thanks to Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan #scos2025

York represents at #scos2025

Persistent inequality in accessing the elite professions in the UK. Compounded by social stratification and lack of ‘correct’ cultural capital.

It’s really interesting to see the power inequalities within integrated care systems which will help inform our analysis of our VCSE mapping project.

Have you used a causal loop diagram before to help understand complex systems? Really interesting to hear how it is being used to unpack integrated care. #york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social
