In Turku at Åbo Akademi today for Gender Studies Day. So many great discussions circulating around crip-queer-feminisms, and archival time-travelling with a keynote from Eliza Steinbock. Thanks to the organisers for bringing us together!

Genuine pleasure to be an absolute unit once more! Curious to hear listeners’ opinions on the speculatory nature of this research, and how that might clash with archival neutrality.
Absolute Units is back!
We continue our conversation with @timjerrome.bsky.social (University of Brighton; formerly, The MERL) about his research into queer rural life.
Discover what Tim has found in our archives to date & the research challenges he's faced.

Finally deleted by academia .edu account because of its suspect data usage policies! Would urge others to do the same.
My research is still collated on ResearchGate & Google Scholar. Perhaps we don't need 3rd-party platforms now our profiles are mostly on Pure?

It’s easy to respond to this consultation, and important to protect the inclusive culture of these beautiful spaces!
Sex Matters are trying to force the ponds to operate on a trans-exclusive basis, despite users of the ponds having voted against such an approach.
If you use, or would like to use, the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds, it is absolutely worth your time to respond to this consultation.
