Dr Helen McCabe

We have seven 3-year Research Fellowships currently being advertised at @NottinghamUON @rightsbeacon - jobs.nottingham.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx?r…. Please share widely (and apply!)! Though I say it myself, we're a great team, and this is a super-exciting project.

@EastMidRailway This isn't what we were told at Chesterfield - there we were told the train was being redirected because it was running late. And the two subsequent trains calling at Chesterfield and going to Sheffield (and beyond) all called there. So I'm puzzled by this comment/reply.

@HRMcCabe Hi Helen, I am afraid that there is a points failure meaning that we cannot get trains to Sheffield. We are sorry for the delay to your journey today. ^JB

Thanks, @EastMidRailway , because you decided the Liverpool train wouldn't call at Sheffield, and turfed us all off at Chesterfield, I missed all my subsequent connections and I'll be nearly two hours late to Scarborough. Great start to the weekend!

Very nice to see this is officially printed, not "just" online. Grear to work with @rightsbeacon's @LaurenEglen on this @ahrcpress-funded project and article. It's Open Access (so not excuse not to read!) ;) Journal of Human Trafficking: Vol 11, No 2 tandfonline.com/toc/uhmt20/11/2

I guess these are the big wins in History of Political Thought ;)

@lisawhiting_ @RebeccaBuxton did you hear the bonus round questions on #UniversityChallenge about The Philosopher Queens? Can't believe Harriet Taylor Mill was the one they didn't know! 🤦‍♀️😭

Great to see this published today, especially (from A&H/philosophy perspective) inclusion of balanced consideration of ethical and health inequalities considerations.

With the word "autarky" in the news today, perhaps time to re-post this interesting Radio 4 series: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00….

Great piece here on Mill :) Nice to learn that Nottingham's MP voted for Mill's amendment to give women the vote on the same terms as men in 1867. :)
