A huge congratulations to @aishamacgregor for passing her viva with no corrections. So hugely well deserved. A beautifully written thesis exploring the experiences of those on compulsory treatment orders in Scotland from a human rights and ethics of care perspective. You are 🤩

Hi pals. I wrote an article about asexual and agender identities, and Gender and Society have published it. You can read it if you like at https://t.co/8xkElmSim9 (msg me if you don’t have institutional access). ‘‘Twas a long road to get here so v happy to see it out 🙂

Organisations like @StirlingCarers can be a real lifeline for families like ours. Can you take a couple of seconds to vote and help them to win £10,000 to support local carer projects. https://t.co/mzoTszV1tW

Who out there is doing any research on the experiences of unpaid carers in Scotland? Doesn't matter how niche/small your project is, or whether you work in academia/ health/social care/third sector. Looking to expand our current research network - DM or comment below! Thanks
