Finally great conversation led by Maddie Tremblett on AI and/in Qualitative Research. People writing down some thoughts on Menti. Such a great event, thanks to people’s input and participation!

Next is Lori Wright speaking about Patient and public involvement in qualitative research. One key point about this is: People we involve in research are not participants they are Partners. We do research together.

Kicking off the end-of-year Network event with Maddie Tremblett going over 2 intense year of wonderful network events; and then Keiko Kanno inviting participants to reflect on the relationship between Reflexivity and Positionality in our research.

I know that not everyone has-sadly-the privilege of peace; or celebrates Christmas or partakes in the celebratory mood. This period can be hard for many. To all of you, especially who is living through a tough period, I wish a warm & cozy time with yourselves & your families (in flesh and in fur)!🫂

Ready for tomorrow! Come join us! 🎄

CAke- off at Loughborough CADay entrants

Final talk to end on a high note this wonderful #caday2025 is the 2nd plenary talk of the day by Deborah Chinn “Conversation Analysis Research and with People with Intellectual Disabilities: a call to Action” #emca

We’ve had an excellent virtual entry to the #CAday2025 from colleagues at Tampere University (apologies for the blurry photo - really not doing the magnificent filmmaking justice!)

Hello CA day 2025! A day of Conversation Analysis, good company, and cake. #emca #CADay2025 @darg-sessions.bsky.social @lborocrcc.bsky.social @lborouniversity.bsky.social

Presenting work from Moving Social Work on Identity and Social workers accounting for their PA level in their workplace in focus groups with Joe Webb at #CASW25 conference was very rewarding! #emca

Wonderful day for the 4th conference on Social Work and #Conversationanalysis, #CASW25. 35 attendees from all over came together to share a wide array of settings, topics & data. This shows the breath of research in the field & how #emca contribute to progressing our understanding of SW practice.1/5

So pleased to be giving a talk at the wonderful CASLC group at York the 12/12/2025! I will share some of the first #emca analysis and reflections from the #MovingSocialWork project. Thanks for extending the invitation! #conversationanalysis #learningdisability #socialwork #physicalactivity

This was great: the idea of not preparing a presentation but being asked some informal conversational questions just to get you talking on what you do, with a small number of lovely people just nodding & smiling, all sitting on sofas & comfy chars is such a fun refreshing format! I loved it! 🥂

In Spring, I became a member of the Senior Common Room at St Chad's College at Durham University. Next week, on the11/04, I'll have the honour of being interviewed by Colin Crowder as part of the "SCR Conversations". 1/3

Words fail. So we try again.

I’ll be there presenting #emca research from Moving Social Work, co-authors @brettsmithprof.bsky.social & Joe Webb. We’ll be looking at decisions, acquiescing, options giving about Physical activity & more, in conversations between people with LDs & social care practitioners. Looking forward to it!

📣✨We know that times are increasingly difficult in HE, and ECRs often shoulder much of the burden. We are also in the process of rethinking and reinvigorating the network. So… we want to put on another in person event, the first for a few years, before strategising our next moves. 🧵1/3

I’m pleased to announce that I have been awarded the Associate Fellowship by Advance Higher Education UK. 🎉 Pleased teach always focusing of students’ inclusion, fair pedagogical practices & realistic engagement.

Very pleased that my piece 'Urban history as urgent work, an argument for disciplinary promiscuity' has been published in @urbanhistory.bsky.social doi.org/10.1017/S096... Many thanks to @mctom.bsky.social for organising the roundtable that got these thoughts going back in 2023! #UrbanHist #EnvHums

Bisexuals! Get visible! It’s bisexual visibility day!

What an immense privilege (& responsibility) it is to record people’s words, listen to them and give them, hopefully, a voice in research! I feel so lucky: doing Moving Social Work research is an incredible honor, meeting the people I meet is enriching beyond any job title one could give to this.

Excited to share the first post of a takeover from @queercircle.bsky.social on the concept of 'queer space' as a site of health creation. Thanks to Research and Health Lead Frances Williams for setting the scene. thepolyphony.org/2025/09/15/q...

I just passed through Charing X on my way up North and my heart truly broke. I want to send everyone here who might feel unsafe, sad, angry, lonely, etc. a big hug & say that there are places/people that prove that community exist in the face of any flag waving otherwise in our faces! Solidarity!🫂❤️
