We have seven 3-year Research Fellowships currently being advertised at @NottinghamUON @rightsbeacon - https://t.co/P8KWRQbTzj. Please share widely (and apply!)! Though I say it myself, we're a great team, and this is a super-exciting project.

@EastMidRailway This isn't what we were told at Chesterfield - there we were told the train was being redirected because it was running late. And the two subsequent trains calling at Chesterfield and going to Sheffield (and beyond) all called there. So I'm puzzled by this comment/reply.

[Dr Helen McCabe @HRMcCabe]

Thanks, @EastMidRailway , because you decided the Liverpool train wouldn't call at Sheffield, and turfed us all off at Chesterfield, I missed all my subsequent connections and I'll be nearly two hours late to Scarborough. Great start to the weekend!

Very nice to see this is officially printed, not "just" online. Grear to work with @rightsbeacon's @LaurenEglen on this @ahrcpress-funded project and article. It's Open Access (so not excuse not to read!) ;) Journal of Human Trafficking: Vol 11, No 2 https://t.co/CrqEe9XVMg

@lisawhiting_ @RebeccaBuxton did you hear the bonus round questions on #UniversityChallenge about The Philosopher Queens? Can't believe Harriet Taylor Mill was the one they didn't know! 🤦‍♀️😭

[Dr Helen McCabe @HRMcCabe]

Great to see this published today, especially (from A&H/philosophy perspective) inclusion of balanced consideration of ethical and health inequalities considerations.

🚨 We’ve launched the first-ever FREE Honour-Based Abuse (HBA) Identification Tool – a vital new resource for frontline professionals 🕊️

Developed by Karma Nirvana, this online tool supports professionals to recognise key indicators of HBA, understand survivor experiences, and determine appropriate next steps. It’s guided by decades of insight from our national helpline and our Survivor Ambassador Panel.

🛠️ The tool includes:
✔️ Guided yes/no questions based on common HBA indicators
✔️ A scoring framework to help assess HBA-related factors
✔️ Accompanying guidance to support its use with care and confidence

We officially launched this tool at our online event on 24th April, joined by professionals across health, education, police, social care, and beyond – all committed to improving early intervention and safeguarding outcomes.

With the word "autarky" in the news today, perhaps time to re-post this interesting Radio 4 series: https://t.co/1Z85hrxjc1.

Great piece here on Mill :) Nice to learn that Nottingham's MP voted for Mill's amendment to give women the vote on the same terms as men in 1867. :)

[History Of Parliament @HistParl]

In our final post for #WHM, Dr Kathryn Rix of the @TheVictCommons explores the amendment put forward by John Stuart Mill to the 1867 reform bill, marking the first time the House of Commons voted on granting the parliamentary franchise to women:
