Our new paper is out led by @lauriewroe.bsky.social & with Delphine Peace on learning from #Contextualsafeguarding Across Borders with refugee young people in Germany. Interesting to be bilingual researcher on the project - reminder of how language/trajectories shape contexts & concepts.

I recently came upon this qualitative systematic review on Systems Leadership open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/articles/5-6 by @paulcairney.bsky.social and Claire Toomey - found it really helpful and insightful.

Systems Leadership: a qualitative systematic review of advice for policymakers By Paul Cairney and Claire Toomey, University of Stirling. This post summarises our pre-print in Open Research Europe. It is the second of a three-part series of articles on collaborative policymaking. Abstract ‘Systems…

Really pleased to be co-facilitating a workshop with Dr Adi Cooper on #TransitionalSafeguarding today at this #SupportingTransitions event by @researchip.bsky.social

Not a good outcome for addressing the climate crisis or social justice issues; instead more Fortress Europe building & blaming refugees/migrants = enabling the far right. My only 'hopium' are young women's voting tendencies, suggesting many realise what's at stake for human and planetary futures 🌈🌈🌈

Yesterday, the Government posted shocking footage of people being taken from detention centres - by force - and put on deportation flights. This act of performative cruelty gives rise to racism and could have dangerous consequences. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... 1/2

Labour have changed the rules on applying for British citizenship to prevent most refugees from *ever* getting it, if they arrived by small boat or entered using forged documents, for any reason, on the basis that it means they’re permanently not “of good character”.

Quite hard to express how incredibly bad this is

How can we engage children and young people with climate change and the environment - and what are the sustainability issues that matter to them? 💚 Our workshop today, hosted with @sussexcircy.bsky.social, addressed these questions. Read more: www.sussex.ac.uk/research/cen...

Hard to say which is the worst aspect of the CDU’s putrid behaviour here, but Merz telling us that a racist policy isn’t bad just because racists support it is probably the one

Didn't take long for the German "Christian"-"centre"-right #CDU under Friedrich #Merz to go "right-far-right", right after the formality of Holocaust memorial #migrationisahumanright

In the determination of states to prevent people fleeing war and persecution the opportunity of safety they are removing protections for everyone by emboldening and main steaming far right ideology. This will come back and bite people, hard. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Wer diesen Moment seit Jahren befürchtet und vor ihm gewarnt hat, nimmt ihn heute ohne Schock. Wir wissen, wie dieser Mechanismus funktioniert. Wir wissen, was dagegen hilft. Der Mut der demokratischen Mehrheit. Ihr dürft unverfroren sein in eurem Widerstand. Aber seid laut.

“Pine Grove (fire camp) carries on this unique legacy of labor exploitation, employing teenage boys and young men — many of whom have been incarcerated for a significant portion of their youth — to do life-threatening work that serves communities they haven’t had a chance to be part of as adults.”

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

A beautiful version of the Interstellar main soundtrack. If Interstellar teaches us anything, it is to preserve this precious planet we have. 🌍💚

Light Catching #WinterSolstice Let us go light catching. There are places where there are great shafts of it. and nets lie idle waiting for the Catchers to come.

I used to avoid the 20th December. It marked a painful ending as a child in care whose placement broke down at Christmas. Now it marks a new beginning in a book where 100 care experienced people reclaim our past. Find your Christmas copy of Free Loaves on Fridays here: unbound.com/books/free-l...

On this International Migrants Day, we dream of a world where everyone has the right to remain where they want to be – not because they are “deserving”, not because they are made “vulnerable”, not because they are “exceptional”, but because they love, they live and they are human.

Literally crying hearing how French women applaud Gisele Pelicot every day as she walks out of court. #r4today Everywhere around the world women watch & applaud her bravery too. She stood up for all of us. Because the shame has to switch sides.

“Exploitative” companies running children’s homes targeted by the Government for making excessive profits will still find a way to “game” the system, MPs have been told. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/mps-...

AI comes with a significant climate cost. It also has applications useful for addressing climate change. How should we approach the paradox of AI and the climate? theconversation.com/will-ai-save...

The statement below about the end of humanities & social science Marsden funding tells us that understanding people, our societies, even voters is of no interest to this NZ govt. How can they implement ideas without understanding our communities, learning from our past and imagining new futures?

Very shocked to read about the disbanding of all humanities & social science funded research by the Marsden Fund in NZ (their ARC/ESRC equivalent) www.beehive.govt.nz/release/mars...
