@Romance_UOB Sorry to have missed this :( Need to sort out my email as Romance Reading Group emails keep going to my spam and getting missed. Fingers crossed will make the next one

Beautiful pink skies over @oldjoeclock and @unibirmingham on the way home.

@nxwestmidlands Please tell me what I can do about a carrier bag left on the 48 (the one that left QE at 17.50 yesterday). Left on the bus about 6.20. I really need this back! What should I do/ who should I contact? Thanks!

Really great idea to make MPs take notice!

#LondonFashionWeek starts today - and we think the most fashionable thing you can do today is craft a knitted dog.

Because we need a #FashionWatchdog - and we need as many MPs as possible to sit up and take notice!

@SusanDeacy @CamEdFac I remember this! Was getting excited for my next conference at CA coming up which was never to be ☹️

Happy Roman Lupercalia to all!
What with its feasting, whipping and smearing your face with blood, this is indeed a more interesting festival than Valentine's Day.

Where are the grassroots women in Sri Lankan politics?
Super excited to have this podcast on a @DLProg research project out. Hosted by @PetraAlderman .

[DLP @DLProg]

Why are there so few women from non-elite backgrounds in Sri Lankan politics? What barriers do they face on their pathways to politics? And what can be done to support them? Check out this podcast from DLP researchers:

Interesting talk on fossil fuel subsidies. In spite of their wastefulness & propping up climate change, it's difficult for countries worldwide to remove them. We need a political message that *convincingly* tells everyone what they'll gain with the money saved.

[Anna Pome Gibert @AnnaGibert5]

And that was thanks to the mind-opening work of @DLProg

[DLP @DLProg]

Important piece on how to genuinely support local leadership - international actors are not "star players" and are there to support not manage locally led change processes.

Leadership for #WASH is important to strengthen systems & ensure everyone can access much-needed services. Our 📢DLP paper looks at a successful example of leadership development in #Cambodia. Check it out👇:

[Romance Reading Group ❤ @Romance_UOB]

Thank you to all who joined us today - what a great discussion (mind still blown by the insightful comments re community, colonialism and office romance -which I never expected to write in the same sentence!)! @CharlotteIre @RobinDiver22 @prof_romance @CarlyBResearch

[Robin Diver @RobinDiver22]

Great to rejoin @Romance_UOB today for a discussion of Love Actually - the controversies, appeal, idea of it as a "romance for men", visual portrayal of women & the impact of romance being set within communities.

[Robin Diver @RobinDiver22]

From conspiracy theories to not acting on climate emergency, why is it so hard to create change?
This @fp2p blog reports fascinating research on why we don't like changing & how to combat this.
Answer: It's all about networks, conversations & social proof:
