A heartfelt thank you to Daniel Laurison for his exceptional contributions first as Associate Editor and then Editor-in-Chief of the British Journal of Sociology. We are all so grateful for his dedication and hard work over the last few years. Thank you, Daniel!

Dominated by Big 4 and fossil fuel interests, the Board of Taxation (which advises Treasury etc) quietly sacked. Time to get conflicted interests out of our tax machinery including ending the revolving door that puts Big 4 people at the helm of govt depts. theklaxon.com.au/ztem-47/

This is one of the best pieces of research I've ever done. I could not have brought this to the impact it's had without without my co-author and co-pilot Vejune Zemaityte and team. To have it recognised like this is amazing.

Really hoping the Nei til EU national makes a powerful statement about anti-Semitism now. And starts to act on it.

I'm just dipping back into this space to remind everyone that women don't lie about this shit. We couldn't in our worst dreams come up with what men chasing fame, and the machine that supports them, says is ok. Women don't lie about this shit. Not at scale.

Telefilm Canada continues to disappoint. Won't engage with scholars, and now won't engage with unions. Bad form. iatse.net/unions-and-gui…
