My love letter to Dirty Harry @EastwoodMalpaso bps.org.uk/psychologist/p…

Fantastic talk today by @sandylocks with @kehinde_andrews On a sunny bank holiday, the auditorium was packed!! Very popular, well-received & fascinating discussion. I was also lucky enough to get a book signed. Events like this show the importance of #BlackStudiesBCU

Today, we honor Harvey Milk — a San Francisco icon who believed that hope, courage, and community could change the world. As a Bay Area team, we're proud to carry forward the spirit of a city that has always stood for belonging, equality, and inclusion. His legacy lives in all of us. Happy Harvey Milk Day.

Cops to rate train companies re: hassle of female passengers? Research is clear: passengers REALLY want: More staff; Less tolerance of nuisances; More CCTV (working AND accessible to police); Safer stations; More signage; League tables are NOT the solution bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Highlights the constant tension between responsible reporting /no notoriety, and awareness of the lack of support for the majority survivors of mass attacks. #PUMK bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I’ve put up a new video on my new YouTube channel. This is very much an initial experiment in sharing more informal reflections on psychology, lecturing, and general academic work. If you’d like to take a look: youtu.be/rwz6vKeYup0?si… #lecturer #psychology #academia #university

Your fella there is singing “eins, zwei, drei”. Would work better if the act was ‘Look Mum no Hans’.

San Francisco, 1950s. It looked this way…

@James_Treadwell @LauraCrimRiley @timeshighered Oh James. You’ve explained your reasons and I can’t argue, but I hope that when the log we’re all perched on gets even shorter, with no room for social scientists’ backsides anymore, that the disciplines who ‘look down’ on us will still have compassion and solidarity for us.

@LauraCrimRiley @CraigProfessor @timeshighered It is if you are not willing to consider alternatives because you have already reached the conclusion well before you even ask the question. That this is going from academia is a good thing. Not before time. I hope that academics get it.

Black studies course to close at Birmingham City Perhaps Critical Race Theory doesn't actually have as much as a market in the UK as say employment law, perhaps because grievance studies will not find students good graduate employment. timeshighereducation.com/news/black-stu… via @timeshighered

@James_Treadwell @CraigProfessor @timeshighered What makes it ‘Grievance studies’? I hope all social science causes are raising grievances where relevant and encouraging students to do the same.

@James_Treadwell @timeshighered It's terrible for all staff involved, whatever the course or institution. The luxury of picking sympathy or solidarity doesn't sit right with many academics. We both preach about class - isn't that segregation & identity-based? Academe is a big log with room for all yes?

@CraigProfessor @timeshighered Perhaps fair, but on a day where Uni of Nottingham put all its 2,300 staff at risk and Sheffield plan to close Chemistry, I find it hard to find sympathy for Greivence studies that is not about solidarity but is openly supportive of segregation and identity based sectarianism.

Excellent stuff to see Scully get a mention!

It’s capers.

"The idea that the poor should have leisure has always been shocking to the rich. In the early nineteenth century, fifteen hours was the ordinary day's work for a man; children sometimes did as much, and very commonly did twelve hours a day. When meddlesome busybodies suggested that perhaps these hours were rather long, they were told that work kept adults from drink and children from mischief. When I was a child, shortly after urban working men had acquired the vote, certain public holidays were established by law, to the great indignation of the upper classes. I remember hearing an old Duchess say: 'What do the poor want with holidays? They ought to work.' People nowadays are less frank, but the sentiment persists, and is the source of much of our economic confusion." — Bertrand Russell
