Excited to have my research on Japan's glacial gender revolution out. University-educated couples led modest shifts toward more equitable housework sharing, but overall traditional patterns persist in Japan between 1991 and 2016. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very much looking forward to discuss the research project I am doing together with Vicki Nash and @nettaweinstein.bsky.social at @oiioxford.bsky.social. This has been fascinating to work on and it is work in progress, would would love any thoughts and comments!

Cool paper! Especially interesting to reflect on in comparison to the as UK AI policy announcement.

Help! I have a table that compares 2 groups of people clustered into 3 sub-categories each and contains mean and median values on a certain measure and sample sizes for the 2 groups. Just looking at the table the numbers do not look right to me mathematically. I think I read once about a tool 1/2

One of the preliminary findings of our @nettaweinstein.bsky.social and Vicki Nash on how young people experience parents' managing their digital lives is that communication is key for young people being on board and supportive of parents efforts. What better way to communicate than a GAME!

Was interested to hear about Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "plans to introduce a four-day workweek to ease the burden on families," but also ultimately skeptical that this will solve the issue of declining birth rates.

It was great to have an opportunity to discuss our latest research with Prof Vicki Nash on this podcast! @oiioxford.bsky.social This research is based on conversations with 16-17 year olds in the UK who shared with us how they feel about parental digital mediation of their lives.

Love having not only many of my wonderful colleagues on Bluesky but now also OII as an institution!
