My take on what the initial decisions on REF mean for impact. Summary: these are mainly tweaks that address issues for which most institutions already found work-arounds. You can read the full announcement here repository.jisc.ac.uk/9148/1/researc…

The Home Secretary says Govt will clamp down on child sexual exploitation, & new measures are proposed to ensure ‘political correctness’ will not impede a ‘crack down’ on exploitation. Whilst a focus on tackling sexual abuse is *obviously* a good thing, I have some thoughts…1/

Neutral knowledge does not exist. Knowledge production or what and how we understand “reality” and “truth” is an extremely political process. What is “reality” or “truth”? How do we know this “reality”? Is there only one reality or are there many of them? —Sylvia Tamale

@danielleturney1 @dez_holmes @ipanalysis @SPRExchange We’ve been exploring WPR as a means of surfacing the (always present, though often hidden) politics of evidence production and use. Trying to apply it in research-policy practice setting in a collaborative way. Found it challenging and very rewarding to engage with!

The need for research to have policy impact is widely accepted across higher education. But do current frameworks (REF, UKRI) foster the right behaviours? In this new report co-authored with @profkatsmith and @CleoDavies2, we set out new principles for guiding policy impact 1/11
Royal Society of Edinburgh@RoyalSocEd

The Rethinking Policy Impact project has published its final report with recommendations for REF, funders and Higher Education Institutions. Setting out six core principles to guide frameworks for supporting policy impact. Supported by @ESRC & @uoessps. rse.org.uk/rethinking-pol…

On #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, and every day, it's high time more of us men start speaking out in support of women's right to choose what happens to their own bodies. Abortion = essential healthcare, and we all gain from living in a society where this is respected. @MenEngage
