Excited to announce a new paper by BAMSA (Bridge: A MindSport for All). Do other mindsports face the same problem? Miriam Snellgrove Dr Elizabeth-Anne Graham Dr Charlotte McPherson Jessica Cleary Leisure/Loisir tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

New publication based on my research about food insecurity with young people during the height of the pandemic: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/… Reveals gaps in policy support for #youngpeople during the crisis but sadly the product of sustained inequalities faced by young people.

“Whether or not young people enjoy or feel comfortable at school does not seem to be a concern treated seriously in education policy decision-making in England”. The Edge Foundation's report gives young people a voice. It's a sobering read. 👇

“Many secondary schools have adopted teaching methods that many young people experience as alienating and stressful”. These are the side effects of the system. Research is only as good as its design, and if you only measure test results, that’s all you’ll see. 1/

This is a particularly heartbreaking read for those with neurodivergent young people who very often fall into multiple categories of those unhappy in this report.

1 in 2 pupils told this research team that they were unhappy and alienated at school. We need to reflect on what really constitutes a successful school.

Pleased to share the latest report from the Young Lives Young Futures study, Schools for All?, where we draw on data we collected from thousands of young people across England about their experiences of alienation at secondary school. The Edge Foundation ⬇️ edge.co.uk/research/proje…

This week I am taking up my new role as a McKenzie research fellow at YRCunimelb - very excited to be back!

This paper is free to read and draws on research I did with young people during the height of the pandemic about their experiences of food insecurity. As ever, extremely thankful to young people for sharing their experiences with me.

Great paper, available on open access, by my colleagues that powerfully challenges the idea that the economic impacts of the Covid-19 crisis were 'unprecedented' for young people, who have been experiencing labour - and other forms of - insecurity for decades. ⬇️

For anyone who doesn’t have TikTok: there’s a trend at the moment where people are romanticising their lives by editing them like Wes Anderson and it’s honestly so creative and wholesome 🧵👇 Here are a few of my favourite ones

This is next level by the DWP. The usual pitting people against those on benefits. ‘Cheats’, ‘scroungers’, stuff we’ve been peddled forever. SO undermined by actual data, & so depressing but unsurprising to see it militaristically fronted by the Minister for Disabled People.

An amazing photo of my niece caught eating marmite from the jar while dressed in marmite colours! Marmite - I think she should be your new brand rep 😎

Majority of cultural activities are now far beyond the financial means of a working-class family. Whether it be watching a premier league football team, going to the theatre, watching your favourite rock or pop star live – the average cost for a family is more then a month’s rent

Full house for papers on Youth Studies theory with Shane Blackman, John Goodwin & Charlotte McPherson. Top stuff! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 #UUStopTheClock

A beautiful and inspiring keynote by @tania_dsc on youth work as heartwork; the love and the heartbreak of this critical engagement between youth workers and young people, particularly in these turbulent times. #UUStopTheClock

A fantastic presentation by my former colleague Alice Weavers about the reality of young people’s participation in policymaking, drawing on her PhD findings and data we collected together for Young Lives Young Futures 👏🏻👏🏻 #UUStopTheClock

What a thought provoking keynote from Prof Steve Roberts this morning about the negativity that underpins many academic and public imaginings of working class masculinity and how this can distract from, and benefit, those who gain the most from patriarchy. #UUStopTheClock
