Es sangrante el tratamiento que recibe el acoso escolar por parte de los Centros Educativos, por parte de Inspección Educativa y por parte de la Fiscalía. Es una realidad cotidiana que solo es noticiable cuando se producen suicidios.

📚New book!!! So happy to share that ‘Why Historic Places Matter Emotionally’ has just been published by Cambridge University Press.

Outlines a conceptual framework for ‘emotion’ comprised of responses, attachments, and communities built from evidence from places across England and Scotland.

In 1780 Elizabeth Freeman challenged slavery in court & won. Her husband was killed fighting in the American Revolution. Her earnings as a midwife made her one of the few women of the era to pay taxes. Her case was among "the greatest attempts to put the ideals of inalienable rights into practice.”
