New article in Social Theory & Health, co-authored with
@judegreen.bsky.social, open access.

In a nutshell we argue that that lived-experience research is not the same as qualitative sociology in health research. The difference exists and matters.

I am not a lawyer, just a historian, but one fundamental problem with the political debate about the EU, especially in English publications is that the whole principle of the acquis communnitaire is not understood or taken seriously. The EU is a framework of rules, not an alliance.

How to conceptualise research environments for transdisciplinary work? How do researchers negotiate such spaces, and with which implications for knowledge produced? @rosetrappes.bsky.social and I answered by proposing the idea of "multiplex research environments"! See: rdcu.be/eN8ie #philsci

Good luck to Anita, but BBC reporting here that there is no international definition or agreed common symptoms is just wrong and perpetuates doubt and myths.

There is a WHO definition, and widely agreed pattern of common symptoms.

This is complete madness. The utter waste of huge time, effort, hope. And those tiny %s increasingly given to those PIs with grants already and no time to manage them. Funding needs overhaul.

After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results:

Sitting with, not skimming over, the words compiled in the UN Commission's report makes you howl, once again, with rage www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...
The Commission concludes that Palestinians who were physically and mentally harmed by the Israeli security forces’ military operations will continue to suffer from long-term harm of such a serious nature that they will no longer be able to lead a normal and constructive life. For example, in relation to Palestinian children, in June 2024, UNICEF stated that “almost all of Gaza’s 1.2 million children need mental health and psychosocial support”, especially those who were exposed to repeated traumatic events, maimed, have lost parents and close family members, and children with disabilities.177 According to a report published by War Child in November 2024, almost half of 504 surveyed caregivers stated that their children think they (the children) would die during the current war, and other children have expressed their wish to die.178 Many Palestinians from Gaza told the Commission that they live in extreme and constant fear for their safety since 7 October 2023. Some of them said that their children could not think of anything but ways to survive from being attacked daily.
