📢 Hem presentat el primer informe del CETIS: “Invertir en un futur just: prestacions econòmiques contra la pobresa infantil” El document proposa mesures per reduir la pobresa infantil a Catalunya i reforçar el sistema de protecció social amb evidència científica i bones pràctiques internacionals.

Avui, com a membres del CETIS, hem presentat el primer informe que aporta mesures per a l'erradicació de la pobresa infantil. En podeu llegir més detalls aquí: www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/... Amb @pmklose.bsky.social @albalanau.bsky.social i @aarcarons.bsky.social

El informe para erradicar la pobreza infantil en Catalunya propone incluir el gasto en vivienda como indicador de vulnerabilidad www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/...

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” It costs a lot less to house people.

✏️ @ayllonsara.bsky.social (@univgirona.bsky.edu) i Camila Zamora (@ecapuab.bsky.social) ens presenten un estudi que posa de manifest els biaixos de gènere dels alumnes a l’hora de valorar la docència. Un experiment aleatoritzat dut a terme a Catalunya ho demostra. www.5centims.cat/biaixos-en-l...

Ante tanta tontería y mala baba, este, casi minimalista, texto de Eduard Sola.

L'Ajuntament de Girona ha habilitat el Palau de Fires com a punt per acollir les persones que no hagin pogut tornar a casa per l'aturada del servei ferroviari. L’espai s’ha equipat amb 180 llits, mantes, taules i cadires, i hi ha servei de lavabo. A partir de les 20h ja s'ha obert.

If you accept to write a recommendation letter to one of your students... in that letter, do NOT recommend another candidate. It is unfair and unethical. That is not what the student expects. Simply, don't write the letter. Have the guts to say the student that you can't recommend him/her.

«No tenemos problemas con los forasteros, sino con la pobreza. El dinero abre las fronteras, mientras los desamparados llevan vidas apátridas en su tierra natal. Es fácil detectar la discriminación en el ojo ajeno sin ver la aporofobia en el propio». ladiaria.com.uy/columnista/i... 🎨 Ramiro Alonso

In my street, there's the town's library. An absolute privilege. Yesterday, the world poetry day, we read the same poem in many languages (I did Finnish). The library turns only 10 years old and I can't even imagine my life without it now...

El menjador escolar no ha de ser concebut com una ajuda social per a les famílies vulnerables, sinó com un dret educatiu universal. Sobretot a Catalunya, on l'escola pública té un dels preus de menjador més cars de l'Estat. @elenacostas.bsky.social

New updated/overhauled paper 🧵: Governments and community orgs often provide similar services (think: nutrition, cash/emergency financial aid, housing services), but the specific populations served and goods provides differ. What happens to the charitable sector when gov services increase? 1/5

A 10% increase in access to free school meals reduces the amount of food that food banks distribute by 0.9%–1.4%, without significantly reducing donations, fundraising activity, or the amount of food available, from @kristaruffini.bsky.social, Ozturk, and Pekgun https://www.nber.org/papers/w33562

It's been wonderful to visit @upna.bsky.social. I presented our work on #schoolmeals and got tons of feedback. One more library in the count! Lovely city, wonderful food and amazing colleagues! Thank you!

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Isn't it pretty? #Gironella_sempre
