Excited + daunted in equal measure! Just signed @EmeraldEdu book contract on #HBTbullying + #LGBTinclusion in schools. I think largest known study on this in England to date (over 62,000 respondents). Have to do justice to large-scale + rich data!
Don't think there's anyone left here, but just in case... Come and do a funded PhD at Hallam on anything LGBTQ+ related! Happy to answer any questions etc. Feel free to share... 😊 tinyurl.com/54r8rv5f

Seems completely wrong for UK govt to commission research on LGBTQ equality issues from @kesiareeve & @EleanorFormby and then to just sit on it for five years. Well done to @senseaboutsci for raising this - story from @jgro_the timeshighereducation.com/new…

You can’t believe how kind the British are.
Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry.
A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat.
It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family.
Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it.

Huddersfield Uni has £179m in the bank
But it's trying to push through a mass sacking of staff who should be enjoying their summer holiday
Vice-chancellor Bob Cryan takes home over £400k. He is being rewarded for abject failure

Only a year after they closed down our Linguistics team, here they are again 'restructuring to support future growth'. This double speak from the incompetents who are running the place into the ground. Sad for Huddersfield which needs a thriving university.

For anyone that thinks that the Uk should “move on” from Partygate. I suggest that you listen to this any answers caller, whilst watching the video of the party At Conservative HQ
First ever Partygate video revealed as Tories drink, dance and laugh at Covid rules.

Watch Joanna Cherry huff and puff, roll her eyes, and mouth “what rubbish” when @KirstySNP talks about a trans constituent of hers talking about suicidal ideation.
This is disgusting and heartless behaviour from an elected official! 😠

I hope this does more good than at @HuddersfieldUni where most of the sociologists have now gone #Sociology

We have seen this before. It was bullshit then, and it’s bullshit now.

Tomorrow, a woman in England will be sentenced for ending her own pregnancy.
The maximum sentence she could receive is up to life imprisonment - the harshest penalty in the world.
We need abortion law reform now.
