📻 🎧Just wrapped a great 2-hour workshop with Athens activists: primary teachers & housing activists!
🎙️ We talked podcasting for collective/activist action, consent, resources (or lack of them) (time, funding), and cool ideas for collective podcasts + how unis/researchers can back them.

@bcnuej.bsky.social's "Ethics of Care framework" invites us to reflect on our research spaces—and to adopt or demand healthier, more humane working conditions in an increasingly hostile academic world.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Methods Fair.
I’ll be thinking with this: "What happens when those who are usually researched… become the researchers?" Power shifts, new knowledges, and unexpected insights.

Yesterday, I was invited to contribute to a workshop organised by a wonderful team studying housing policies/struggles in Athens, Glasgow and Barcelona.
A refreshing and interesting discussion and a great opportunity to meet old and new friends working on similar issues.
