Delighted to have joined @Leigh__Mathews and @ALTOConsultants’ thoughtful and intimate podcast to talk @DecoloniseMsf, the Dignity 2021 report, and our favourite books and spaces. As usual the great @MonicaMukerjee completely nailed it. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

For anyone interested in ethics within the "doing good" industry, the Good Problem podcast by @Leigh__Mathews is a must-listen. Our episode is worth it to hear @arnabmajumdar_, who always pushes me to think and act in ways that promote dignity. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…

Thanks @forumids for the invitation & truly a fruitful and challenging discussion on the complexity of #decolonising volunteering for (or perhaps ‘and’!!!) development! Great to share the ‘stage’ w/ @N_A_Miraz @Leigh__Mathews @akrishnan23 & Stephen Goodman!

A very fruitful discussion on #decolonisation at #IVCO2021 with Aarathi Krishnan @akrishnan23 of @UNDP, Nazmul Ahsan @N_A_Miraz of @AABangladesh, Chris Millora @chrismillora of @uniofeastanglia and @Leigh__Mathews of @ALTOConsultants, led by Stephen Goodman of @VSAvolunteer

Curious about the kind of conversations we'll have during this week's @_healingsol's 2021 conference, #MakingDifferentChoices? Check out this rich conversation between founder @maryannmhina & 'The Good Problem Podcast' host @Leigh__Mathews: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mar… #globaldev

Great to be on a pod that asks the hard questions! It is a vulnerable position to bear out my own learning and (hopeful) maturation on a #podcast, but the prospect for building bridges across various groups is so important if we're going to start getting care right for children.

@sallyrugg Same. So much damage done with his coming out 🙄

I have ADHD and I don’t act like a dickhead

@katevandoore @GriffLawSchool @snailsinbottles @Griffith_Uni Congratulations, Kate! Amazing news!

Pleased to announce that I’ve been appointed Deputy Head of School (Learning & Teaching) @GriffLawSchool for the next three years taking the reins from the indomitable @snailsinbottles. Such a great Law School with wonderful colleagues - you couldn’t find better! @Griffith_Uni

The facts of voluntourism still shock me. Thank you @whitmancollege students for joining me in the complex morass. #voluntourism #orphanages

@Asher_Wolf It’s my understanding that the accreditation process is extremely costly for a small business. My child’s psychology practice said it would be prohibitive for them to manage...I prefer to choose practitioners than be told who we can use.

Is ‘business ethics’ an oxymoron? If not, what does it take for business to be a morally transformative force in society? This our #mkw21 event topic. It's an immersive moderated conversation. You'll be sent some pre-readings to kick off the discussion, & then it's over to you.

A few days ago France passed a law abolishing all domestic flights that can be made by train in under 2.5 hours. A welcome step. reuters.com/business/envir…
