"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

I beg of you, nonfiction writers, breathe life into your prose! Ignore the professor in your brain that's always ready to mark something as too colloquial. Make it read like something written by an actual human you might want to talk to at a party!

Reminded of this today.

We found, there’s always a reason why women are “never quite right” for leadership roles".

Something to remember when trying to conform to views on leadership, ladies. People are going to judge you anyway. So be bold/ stick to your values

As part of our ongoing exploration into ‘liveability’, we’ve asked our #DiscoveringLiveability team to keep an eye out for any images that they think speak to liveability in some way. First up, this graffiti artwork was spotted on the streets of Edinburgh by one of our team members last month 📸

Alongside my PhD, I also provide communication & admin support for this brilliant research project! Give us a follow if you’re interested in research on alternatives to #SuicidePrevention and ‘liveability’ 😊
We had our first in-person team meeting for the #DiscoveringLiveability project last week! As our team is based across the UK, it was a wonderful opportunity to spend some time sharing our values and ambitions for the project. A productive day full of workshops, discussions, and fun activities 💡

I say this to all my male followers with love in the same way I do with my family and friends - have those uncomfortable conversations with the men in your life. Don’t allow the casual misogyny in conversations. Challenge abusive behaviour. Do the work. It’s on you. It always has been.

reading about the Pelicot case always fills me with misandrist rage anyway but christ I could do with fewer men posting "wow, to think men can do that :(" today and more men actually challenging other guys in their-day-to-day lives, having the uncomfortable chats, stepping in when needed, etc etc
