Come be a post-doc with us!

Some news: @nmckeever3.bsky.social and me, with the support of @alex-fisher.bsky.social will be reviewing the ethical standards of the Online Dating and Discovery Association: the organisation which represents dating apps theodda.org/whats-happen...

“The coalition wants Meta to scrap the feature entirely. In a letter to CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday, it argues that face recognition in inconspicuous consumer eyewear ‘cannot be resolved through product design changes, opt-out mechanisms, or incremental safeguards.’”

So many beautiful minds on this list! 🤓🖤 One thing I’ve noticed about the SWer community I’ve been exposed to thus far is that a significant proportion of us have advanced degrees and/or are academic adjacent, literate in various social theory, etc. I find this so interesting. Anyone else?

Should we treat dating like work? I’m quoted in this Cosmopolitan piece: www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

There is money for "education" if and only if that money is being directly funneled to corporations. Anything involving actual learning, however, well there's no magic money tree

We’d never be able to teach classes like this in a UK university. Such a shame!
