I’m excited to share a new open access paper exploring how psychosocial methods can foster more connected, care-based, and imaginative research in problem-focused fields. Durrant, R. 2025. Re-enchanting the research encounter... J of Psychosocial Studies. doi.org/10.1332/147867…

4. I also thoroughly enjoyed listening - it was an extremely informative piece, and it's great to hear about women's experiences of farming on such a widely accessed show. And I'll be following the new @CRPRExeter study into female farmers' health and wellbeing.

3. Although farming is awesome and many of us non-farming folk long for more connection and closeness to the land, the media and farming organisations need to be more honest - farming is an essentially closed occupation, as far as most of us are concerned.

Congrats to all involved in the recent woman's hour special on women in farming for putting together such a balanced and well-informed piece. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… Follow this thread to read some of my reflections...

@BBCWomansHour @itsanitarani Congrats to all involved for putting together such a balanced and well-informed piece. I have a few reflections to share: 1. I'm hugely in awe of contributor Sinead Fenton for speaking out so frankly... (see my feed for more!)

❓ Have you ever wondered what life is like as a farmer? Well, we have just the programme for you. We’re on a dairy farm in Devon for a special programme all about women and farming 🚜 @itsanitarani joins Lorna Burdge to hear about a day in her life as a dairy farmer ⬇️

🚜 A three-year study into the health & wellbeing of female farmers has been announced by @UniofExeter. As part of our women in farming special, @itsanitarani is joined by researcher Dr Rebecca Wheeler & a panel of farmers to discuss what impact this research could have 🐄 ⬇️

I'm running a workshop at @ORFC in Jan. The session – ‘Graphic Journaling and Map Making to Explore Your Farming Journey’ – is on Friday 10th from 2.00-3.30pm in the Link Room (Story Museum). Thanks to @Ottilie21 for inspiring me to do this! More info: sussex.ac.uk/research/proje…

Back in October I gave a talk at a fantastic @AABiologists / @LandworkersUK conference - 'Cultivating Wisdom' - in Manchester. View the full talk and explore my new website.👀sussex.ac.uk/research/proje…

I'm feeling very moved by reporting on the strike action that's sweeping the country this spring. Why? Because I really don't want to strike and I hate the feeling of instability. But I'm going to strike anyway, in solidarity with all who work in public service. #ucuRISING

@ecolandcoop @ORFC See you there!

The transition to #agroecology is inhibited by the cultural and legal norms of our ‘ownership model’ of property. Land reform could expand agroecology, it’s a radical and practical idea… give it a go? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@adamjcalo @drkirsteen @AlastairIles What can those working towards agroecological transitions outside of Scotland take away from this paper? Specifics please.

@suepritch Wow, this job is going to be so much fun for the lucky person who fits the bill. If I wasn't enjoying my own job so much then I'd be penning my application right away.

Write to your MP & ask that they support an amendment to the Levelling up & Regeneration Bill to class childcare as infrastructure. This would allow local authorities to use infrastructure levy funds for childcare &would increase provision pts.eaction.org.uk/infrastructure @pregnantscrewed
