The video footage of what happened to Yves Sakila is shocking. Those responsible for the excessive force must be held to account. And politicians have to understand that negative comments about Africans create an environment where this is more likely to happen. www.rte.ie/news/2026/05...

A lovely tribute to our dear friend Doug, who died this week. He will be sorely missed #spéirgorm afloat.ie/marine-envir...

Happy Valentine's Day, especially to anyone who might identify with one of the letters in LGBTQ, particularly the day after someone Trumpy stripped the letter T and then the letter Q from the National Park Service website for Stonewall in New York City.

I'm looking for recommendations of literature on the use of podcasts in community based research, as a data collection method & a means of dissemination - anyone have any leads? #communitypsychology #participatoryresearch

My favourite part of doing research with community groups is getting to meet ordinary people doing transformative & empowering work in their communities. A much- needed reminder of all that is still good in the world & how people power really can work ❤️ #community #research

Hi Bluesky - hit me up with recommendations of who to follow in the world of social/community psychology: identity, power, place, social justice, environment, collective action, participatory methods - all the good stuff!
