Pra-academic - Creating practical knowledge that enables people to thrive

[Dr Kate McAlpine @KateMcalpine]

Thrilled to have a chapter featured in this book, where I describe Ujasiri as a leadership capacity that enhances power within, creates power with, & challenges others' power over women & children.

@SemaTanzania @UNICEF @maendeleoyajami Would love to see the research findings

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK is sounding increasingly petulant interviewing Rachel Reeves. It’s not an attractive posture

Trainspotting parodies usually bore the shit out of me, but I quite like this one.

@RosieisaHolt I'm agog! 😬

I’ve just signed the Open Letter from Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts (@theRSAorg) in support of staff
@RsaUnion striking for improved pay and restoration in the level of employer pension contribution. Please share, and (if a Fellow) sign: https://t.co/znr5OfdtUk.

[Dr Kate McAlpine @KateMcalpine]

@RsaUnion The @theRSAorg is seemingly unable to put its values into action. It is incumbent on the leadership to model values of participation, democracy and respect and if he is unable to do so Andy Haldene should stand down.

If we fail to address the epidemic of violence that results in inter-generational trauma and inhibits our collective wellbeing all other investments in the #SDGs will be for nothing.

(2/3) We used the safety continuum to explore how fear shapes the experiences of people in Shinyanga. For women & children, situations without choice & control, like early marriages, trigger feelings of unsafety, leading to ongoing stress unease, often unspoken but deeply felt.

[Dr Kate McAlpine @KateMcalpine]

(1/3) Safety isn't just a binary concept, it’s a spectrum. But what triggers us to feel unsafe? When life's challenges surpass our physiological limits, we enter our "unsafe" zone. However, with CHOICE, CONTROL & TIME LIMIT, we can take risks while keeping that safety net intact.

[Dr Kate McAlpine @KateMcalpine]

(2/2) To move forward, let’s bridge the disconnect between feelings, thoughts, and actions. Let's empower ourselves and our communities by acknowledging the impact of our emotions on behaviour.

[Dr Kate McAlpine @KateMcalpine]

(1/2) Societal norms pressure people to hide their emotional struggles, even though the community advocates care, compassion & togetherness. This perpetuates the cycle of poverty, dependency, and isolation that holds so many of us back. Read more 👉 https://t.co/o68i07K9oD
