Social scientists study complex global problems like climate change to provide deeper/comprehensive explanations, analysis, solutions & potentials for transformations for the climate crisis, yet are continuously underfunded. Want to help climate-related problems? Fund us!

To accompany the launch of Queer Data: Using Gender, Sex and Sexuality Data for Action, I want to take you on a tour of the book’s 8 chapters 👇

I'm writing a module on climate change that embeds care, offers a politics of hope, champions creativity not conformity, and is free to those who wish to do it. Not really, it's a neoliberal hellhole. But it's important to remember other universities are possible.

Folk at Uni of Edinburgh UCU Edinburgh voted 80% in favour of strike action. 91% for action short of a strike. (And passed the 50% threshold.) No one wants to strike. But another university is not only possible, it is necessary.

The home office staff left with no one detained, all that's left is empty vans. Thank you everyone for helping this happen. It is a big big win.

I took a long break from Twitter; started working with the wonderful people UWS and built a study / workshop / wee nuik. Cannot wait to start work on next year's module on environmental harm & justice.
