Banks that don't want to bank, employment services that don't serve the unemployed; health insurers that do not insure health. The uniting theme here is disdain for people. My newsletter today: rickmorton.substack.com/p/merchants-...

Dr Philippa Duell-Piening's PhD was supported by a Melbourne Social Equity Institute scholarship. A book with her research findings will be published by Routledge in early 2025. research.unimelb.edu.au/study/experi...

How do we learn about our legal rights & obligations? What if we're in a new place, in a different language? These are some of the things I've been thinking about recently. Some initial thoughts in this post on @languageonthemove.bsky.social . Fascinating discussion in the comments! #Langsky #Lawsky

Had a fantastic day at the AI Fairness event in Bologna! Inspiring speakers from academia and industry, fascinating conversations during the breaks, and a new book for the train ride home. I also received some great feedback on my poster and have a few exciting leads to follow-up!

So this venue is pretty amazing

'By applying DisCrit, this Comment shows that these violations are systemic, embedded within an ableist and racist privacy regime that inherently devalues the privacy of marginalized individuals.'

Calling all PhD students working on law, environment and non-human animals: Centre Marc Bloch & the Law and Society Institute @ Humboldt Uni are partnering with the Oxford Centre for Socio-Legal Studies for a Winter School in Berlin in March 2025. Applications are due 20 December!

"It makes me fee like I am not a citizen of this society. It makes me feel penalised." said Mr Astourian, #Disability Advocate. Great reporting by Matthew Vorbach. #CRPD Art 9 Accessibility, CRPD Art 19 Living independently and being included in the community.

La Trobe Law School is hiring! Two Level B positions, check out details below (along with a picture of my lunch spot if you needed any additional reasons to apply): careers.pageuppeople.com/533/caw/en/j... careers.pageuppeople.com/533/caw/en/j...

The Special Rapporteur's report on Australia has findings related to the temporary #pacific workforce, people with #disability in segregated employment and people seeking #asylum.

The 'voluntary' diversity questions in HR systems feel contradictory. The 'required' asterisk (*) feels wrong, especially when the page claims participation is 'voluntary.' At least this organisation includes an 'I prefer not to say' option—something many forget. It still feels uncomfortable.

Hey folks, help me out with this one? I'm putting together a starter pack for socio-legal scholars for @slsauk.bsky.social and others to use. Let me know if you or anyone else should be added! go.bsky.app/T5W1tVv

This bill may well fall foul of the implied freedom of political communication by cutting children out of large parts of social media conversation.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, marking the start of the 16 days of Activism. In 2023 every 10 minutes globally a woman is killed by a partner or family member. In 2022 the rate was one woman killed every 11 minutes. 1 minute matters. A thread 🧵👇🏼

The media and advertising industry has backed in a major campaign (tv, radio, cinema, digital, and out of home advertising) to raise awareness and build public support to raise the age: mumbrella.com.au/industry-cal...

From lion dances to banh mi, these aged care homes are doing things differently. Lovely read by my colleague Najma Sambul

Children of asylum seekers feel frustrated and cut off from chasing their dream careers. Despite completing schooling in Australia, they are counted as international students at university and often cannot afford to pay full fees www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11...

Have you read the #BorgDiem Dictionary yet? Created by disabled people who wanted to choose their own words, not have labels foisted upon them, there are almost 300 new words to describe the #Disabled experience as it really is (great for poets too. So much word play) And it's free!

Thrilled to announce the release of Uprooted: How Post-WWII Population Transfers Remade Europe with Cambridge UP 🎉🎉 The book argues that accommodating the displaced population can strengthen states and benefit local economies in the long run. 📚 [Amazon: tinyurl.com/24m2mbkf] See thread below:

Tired eyes after a day of proofreading the typeset proofs of my monograph. A new format is useful for finding errors! I started the day anxious about whether I would like my work after the 12mth process of getting it published. In my humble opinion, there are still a few interesting ideas in there.

If we can send a poo kit to every Australian when they turn 45 to protect them from bowel cancer let's send a media education pack to every home when a kid turns 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15 with useful guides for kids and parents on engaging with platforms as they grow.

"The rise of new technology and AI has been both thrilling and concerning for people with disabilities."

“Disabled people must be at the table during the development of AI technologies, shaping decisions that directly impact their lives. AI tools should also be accessible and affordable, potentially supported by Australian government initiatives”. powerd.media/article/ai-a...

Brilliant book and a must-read for anyone working in healthcare and /or research.

"Due to the short timeframe of this inquiry, the committee would appreciate submissions being limited to 1-2 pages". Incredibly stupid shit.

I admit to having absolutely no idea what's going on here but I don't think we want big tech platforms to band together to develop develop age verification, thanks. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11... £ link

I should add that in many cases you don’t even need to *pay* for the data! For an ongoing study, I’ve collected >6m rows of data like this just from free samples! We’ve reidentified 97% of the people. (When trying to sell billions of rows, giving away a few hundred thousand isn’t a big deal.)

After accidentally forcing everyone in my life to hear my thoughts on the topic (sorry but also thank you), I wrote something about how the Government keeps framing the teen social media ban as predominately impacting kids when children already face surveillance in every corner of their lives

WIRED has tracked thousands of US military & intel personnel coming & going from classified sites, incl. NSA hubs & nuclear vaults. We know where they sleep, what they eat, and which brothels they visit. It's an ocean of blackmail & national secrets within reach of every spy agency in the world.

The discourse on high-risk/high gain research is prevalent. But we have little insight in what researchers consider "risky", and we know even less how these notions vary across disciplines. Daniel Stein and I have compared grant proposals from the SSH and the natural sciences doi.org/10.1093/scip...

#DisabilityTax “The reality is that it is expensive to be disabled. Research shows that disabled people need at least 28% more income, at least $17,690, to achieve a standard of living similar to that of non-disabled people.” www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
