What an incredible story of resilience and pushing against gendered work barriers.

Last call for proposals for this funded PhD opportunity to explore frontline workers in social housing. Closing date is tomorrow

Such an important and heartening victory, I hope to see this community housing project flourish and be held up as an example of a sustainable alternative to profit driven development

“If women can supply no counterbalance to the blindness of male drive the aggressive society will run to its lunatic extremes at ever-escalating speed.”

Glad to see the issue of ghosting candidates has been highlighted by this new report. My recently published research (doi.org/10.1177/0950...) demonstrates how unemployed people feel ignored and stigmatised by the lack of feedback they receive via frequent auto-rejection of their job applications.

It's unfortunately unsurprising that candidates are still facing bias in recruitment. In recognition of this, myself and @emmathirkell.bsky.social developed a teaching approach to support HR students identify bias at each stage of recruitment and selection.

The Centre for Better Ageing encourages the government to evaluate “all-age” unemployment schemes that have much lower outcomes levels for age 50+ compared to younger people

My friend Mark Chapman’s article is an important reminder that our system is failing the most vulnerable. In his article, Mark reflects on being the only person at his friend Derek’s funeral. He documented Derek’s life in his recently published photography book. www.mag-north.com/posts/on-the...

The marketisation of social housing provision as well as austerity has meant increasing pressure on frontline workers employed by social and public housing providers to deliver services with limited resources.
