🚨 New paper: I worked on the #BritishAcademy Young Workers project in 2021 which involved qual. interviews w/ young people who are over-represented in the precarious work market and very aware of injustices they faced although none formally politically active. Interesting read!

I really like this conceptualization of reflexivity by Braun & Clarke (2022): "good reflexivity isn't a surface reflection, it isn't a comforting feeling or something designed to make you feel like a better person; it can and should be discomforting, unsettling, and change-bringing."

A great resource from Dr Monique Huysamen and the SAAIL team:

Guided by autistic people with LD and ppl with WS we used a range of adaptations such as this research passport osf.io/wq43f/ ...but a lot of things were purely being flexible, they weren't complex or high cost.

‘Just 37% of local councils have up-to-date autism strategies, and almost half overlook autistic adults’ intimate lives, study finds’ Read more about findings from Dr Monique Huysamen’s ‘Supporting Autistic Adults’ Intimate Lives (SAAIL)’ project here: www.mmu.ac.uk/news-and-eve...
