The decision to sit back and allow a new deep coal mine to open in this year of all years is deplorable.

This project is not compatible with our country's #netzero pledge and it will not provide the long-term job security that Cumbrians deserve.

Sad to hear an ex colleague who I first met in prison has passed away. I remember the Governor telling me “if you can give this guy a job and he stays, I will be amazed. It’s impossible.” He stayed with us for 7 years and was a great hire.

Can we be as angry about fractional staff being exploited as we are about academic superstars being threatened with redundancy? They are part of the same problem, but one generates outrage and disbelief, the other is normalized

Qualitative researchers: what are your favorite articles about doing qualitative research? (Not articles based on qual studies, but articles about methods!) #soctwitter

Can politicians and media please stop the #vaccinegame. What matters is the one target - maximum protection for the most vulnerable. That’s why #carehomes are a priority. It takes a lot longer to vaccinate in a #carehome due to infirmity, frailty & dementia distress. #marr

A new book on Dolly Parton – out today, her 75th birthday – celebrates her as the antithesis to Trump, a 'unifying balm' amid divisiveness, tracking her trajectory from 'the punch line of a boob joke' to 'a universally beloved icon'. Read our review here: https://t.co/2s7olq3usy

Just-this-second-published paper, w/ co-authors @rhordosy (project PI), @JLMittelmeier, @AunamQuyoum and Tamsin McCaldin: "‘Possible Selves’ in practice: how students at FE Colleges in England conceptualise university". Really enjoyed this collaboration. https://t.co/VdZthAeSw6

New paper! @SamFriedmanSoc Ian McDonald & I look at the difference between class identities and class positions, Sam explains all in this thread

[Sam Friedman @SamFriedmanSoc]

New! Why do so many people from privileged backgrounds identify as working-class?We find this rooted in elaborate ‘origin stories’ that downplay advantage in people’s own upbringing & instead forge affinities to working-class extended family histories1/https://t.co/cwOYPAj5on

Open access: @_rachel_brooks & @AbrahamsJJ argue that there is an important disconnect between the ways in which students are constructed within policy, and how they understand themselves https://t.co/8cBv8QhxzV

[Professor Sir Steve West CBE, DL @VCUWE]

Lockdown is hard but essential. Students are playing their part but with no part-time work many are struggling. University hardship funds aren’t enough. Government must increase maintenance loans and grants to support the mental health & wellbeing of students. The crisis is now.
