This is the travesty, the spectacle, the injustice of colonial-capitalism whereby wealthy westerners pay hundreds of thousand of dollars to to fetishize century-old watery grave, while poor migrants drown by the hundreds but are largely ignored. #Titanic #GreeceBoatDisaster

Rich Titanic tourists sink in submarine: Whole world watches as navies spare no expense to find them. Hundreds of migrants sink in overcrowded boat: Hope you can swim, losers.

My take on what the initial decisions on REF mean for impact. Summary: these are mainly tweaks that address issues for which most institutions already found work-arounds. You can read the full announcement here repository.jisc.ac.uk/9148/1/researc…

Participatory Research Levels Level 0 - No engagement in research with the communities that are most affected by an issue being explored Level 1 - Harmful & unethical consultation - good intentions / bad practice Level 2 - Minimal & occasional consultation, with no harm

The Home Secretary says Govt will clamp down on child sexual exploitation, & new measures are proposed to ensure ‘political correctness’ will not impede a ‘crack down’ on exploitation. Whilst a focus on tackling sexual abuse is *obviously* a good thing, I have some thoughts…1/

Neutral knowledge does not exist. Knowledge production or what and how we understand “reality” and “truth” is an extremely political process. What is “reality” or “truth”? How do we know this “reality”? Is there only one reality or are there many of them? —Sylvia Tamale

The need for research to have policy impact is widely accepted across higher education. But do current frameworks (REF, UKRI) foster the right behaviours? In this new report co-authored with @profkatsmith and @CleoDavies2, we set out new principles for guiding policy impact 1/11

The Rethinking Policy Impact project has published its final report with recommendations for REF, funders and Higher Education Institutions. Setting out six core principles to guide frameworks for supporting policy impact. Supported by @ESRC & @uoessps rse.org.uk/rethinking-pol…

On #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, and every day, it's high time more of us men start speaking out in support of women's right to choose what happens to their own bodies. Abortion = essential healthcare, and we all gain from living in a society where this is respected. @MenEngage
