Senior Lecturer/Assistant Professor in Criminology, Northumbria University
Project Lead: Women's Online Wellbeing (WOW) a European study of digitalised violence against women
I, like many other, employees of @northumbriauni.bsky.social am shocked and horrified by plans to freeze pay and force staff to move from TPS to USS. I have done the math and moving to USS would cut my pension in half! Now is the time to join @ucunorthumbria.bsky.social, and write your MP/MSP

Important information for anyone attending the European Society of Criminology in Athens and for members of ESC. Petition outlines serious concerns. Consider what you can do to support 👇👇 👇#eurocrim
ESC colleagues: petition & important vote at the General Assembly. If not boycotting, vote. Or a 3rd option: use presentation time to discuss complicity and promote attendance at the GE?

I'm scheduled to present on asylum seekers & everyday resistance. It would be unethical if I didn't resist too
... and if you still intend to attend, get behind the motion to be discussed and voted on at the General Assembly of the 25th Eurocrim Annual Conference, on 05.09.2025 at 13:00

So where is all the #Eurocrim2025 #ESC #Eurorim chat on Bluesky? What are people's thoughts? After seeing Panteion has pulled out surely the ESC needs to act?

If we're going on cultural impact, sure Handmaid's Tale deserves #1. But as far as a good read, I think it's criminal that Oryx and Crake is at #9 (and behind hagseed, my least favourite) and the Blind Assasin should be #1. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Pleased to say that I've voted for @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social in today's election. Admittedly my first vote in a Canadian election since I left nearly 20 years ago. That's how much this one matters.

Devastated to see this happen in the old hood. #EastVan is a glorious mix of cultures and people. 💔

Great discussion on #BBCWorld about Canadian politics, and currently addressing #VAWG and #femicide. Canada sees similar stats as the UK - 1 in 3 women will face sexual violence in their lives. Hoping I get my ballot in time!
