Congrats to @storyriver and @clpe1 on the excellent annual #ReflectingRealities report. Sadly, the significant drop in representation is what many of us feared/predicted would happen. Let this be a wake-up call for publishers to stay committed to truly representing all of society
CLPE@clpe1

🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.

Come find me on the bluer skies place. I’m there as lephill 😊 I’ve not been overly active here for a while, but I’m finding all sorts of joy and delightful chatter. It’s all new and shiny! (Let’s not break it)

@Louiestowell It’s Friday? But, also, kicking the still crunchy sycamore leaves covering the path between our garden and car.

@StagecoachSW what’s up the 1 to Tavistock? I’ve been at Derriford North for an hour, and it’s looking like I won’t make it to Tavi to catch the 85 at 1730, meaning I can’t get home.

Every groundbreaking discovery in science started with someone willing to challenge their own assumptions. Your next literature review could be the one that changes everything. Your academic work needs to fight confirmation bias. It's blocking you from great research. And it's easier to fix than you think. Here's how to destroy confirmation bias in your research:

@NWalkerPE Oh, colleague-friend, does it help to know I’ve be right there with you (recently) & will likely be there again & too soon? Better, a few days ago - seriously - I saw a post (podcast episode, I think), & I vividly remember being v impressed with things you’re getting up to! ❤️
