#Sonth is celebrated by Kashmiris to mark the start of a two month spring. To all who celebrate, may the promise of spring, and its abundance and prosperity be yours. (Also happy holi)

An upcoming public lecture about the pathway for sustainable prosperity through the route of all things meaningful, lasting, which bring #dignity and pride and knowledge of all kinds - #culture. Straight out of my own #research comes this lecture that deep dives into work in #conflict contexts

A large part of the world celebrates the winter solstice. I wish some of them tonight! #ShabeYalda Mubarak to my Afghan, Iranian, Central Asian friends. In Kashmir it’s the beginning of Chilai Kalan - 40 days of harsh winter!

My very limited knowledge of food systems put to test - this is my favourite lentil/daal when eaten fresh as a vegetable. #ToorDal I could have never guessed it. The person selling this on a hand pushed wooded cart took his time explaining to me how to cook it #IndianFood

16 days of activism against #GBV and today is a reminder that harmful gender norms and attitudes drive gender-based violence. And here is some data that might be useful to look at
