C21 journal has published a ‘round table review’ of Timothy Bewes’s book FREE INDIRECT. It includes a short essay by me; other contributors include Leonid Bilmes, Laura Zander & Adam Kelly. Bewes does a response at the end 👇 c21.openlibhums.org/article/id/2... @c21literature.bsky.social

“I forced the shape of English onto resisting tongues and then dared to call it ‘broken.’” My goodness

Went to this exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute this morning - small but well thought-out multisensory exhibition

Saw a barn owl on my run this morning, swooping low over the fields - beautiful.

Great thread on women and logistics

Now reading: written in 1993, set in the 2020s, uncannily apt

It's not unheard of to find errors in your data after publishing it. While it's not fun when this happens, this one-pager can help guide you through the process of updating data, code, and publications when errors are found. osf.io/q4jre/files/...

Tomorrow, Tuesday 27 January, our Executive Director, Prof. Caroline Edwards, will speak at Open Access and the Commons, organised by the LSE Open Research Community

'Dancing through it all' by contemporary artist Angela Smyth #WomensArt

Lots of interesting reading here! I've been collating a Zotero library of stuff on knowledge equity/citational justice, I'm happy to grant access to anyone who would like - www.zotero.org/groups/54546...

👀In a few weeks' time we'll be launching our NEW catalogue of open research practices in the arts, humanities and qualitative social sciences - ~30 open research practices across AHSS disciplines that we've documented so far, with detailed descriptions, examples and resources.

Great placement opportunity for someone:

This is definitely one for my 'best podcast quotes' file - who DOES want to eat cake with no icing?? 🧁 😄 But Kirsty High makes an excellent point - impact is still too often seen as a 'nice to have' rather than an integral part of doing research well. Listen in your favourite podcast app.

Three short paragraphs, and you've got the whole mind-bending mess that is #UKHE finance & governance neatly laid out. This is why it's all so exhausting: our managers declare there's only one static frame, while we know their framing is part of the issue. 💡 www.hepi.ac.uk/2026/01/10/w...

Just finished: gentle, observant, precise

Just finished: did not disappoint, though I’m a bit ambivalent… it’s a gripping & well-written literary mystery with archival dimensions à la Byatt’s Possession… (1/3)

Now reading: compulsive

Now reading: gently vicious class satire

Now reading: timely

Really enjoying what I’ve seen so far of the African Nations Cup… coverage is fairly minimal in terms of build up, half time discussion etc but it doesn’t matter at all (maybe even an improvement) 🏆⚽️

Lovely walk up near Bolsterstone to blow the Xmas cobwebs away:

Unwrap our festive podcast on visual data in research. We explore how to mobilise visual data in open research, and tackle reproducibility, documentation and sharing + tools and institutional perspectives with Dr Ester Ehiyazaryan-White, our #UKRN LNL at SHU👇 creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

This is a fantastic conference (if I do say do myself) Please consider submitting if you’ve got something that fits the theme!

Just finished: funny and humane. It took me back to working in a warehouse while I was studying… It’s a workplace that feels like such a laying-bare of the mechanisms of capitalism / labour.

Listened to this earlier to this evening, really good conversation about visions and/vs practicalities of cooperative & scholar-led approaches to OA publishing.

The Groke is a ghost like character in Tove Jansson's Moomin stories. She embodies the idea of the darkness, the cold. Tove loved all things scary & unknown #WomensArt #Winter ❄️

it is a form of fraud to offer a product, 'education,' and instead offer ever-emptier credentials, in a process where a product's outer branding, as in all enterprises hollowed out by private equity, is increasingly mismatched to the purposefully degraded quality of the product sold under that name

But wording means a lot, and for many, removing the word "culture" from the assessment will mean removing the measurement of some of the less tangible but equally real aspects of the research environment that contribute to how research is produced, or not produced.

We've done it again! @openlibhums.org has flipped another flagship journal to #diamond #openaccess! This follows the mass resignation of the Journal of Philosophical Logic's editorial boards from Springer Nature. The JPL editors will launch Philosophical Logic: www.openlibhums.org/news/875/.

So farewell ‘People, Culture & Environment’… And hello ‘Strategy, People & Research Environment’, or SPRE to her friends. 25% more words; 5% less weight… #REF2029

Ah yes halting the rise of the far right by capitulating to their every demand.

Little feet!

We need to be asking questions, including - interrogating news coverage about sickness and disability - core messages within these pieces - who's sharing them - who's briefing against disabled/sick/poor people - for what purpose - why now - the short and long term consequences of this coverage

#Winter, 1955 by Japanese artist and poet Keiko Minami #WomensArt

“the primary framing of open science as the pursuit of reproducibility and objectivity risks promoting positivism creep in the social sciences and humanities” -
