So I’ve written a short piece (approx 1400 words but could be cut down) on ‘The Question of Joy’ in academia. Any ideas or tips about where I might send this? I’ve written for the LSE Impact Blog before but keen to explore other possibilities. Any advice welcomed. Thank you.

The university death spiral is everywhere, and for everyone: they're all just on a convoy into the same black hole. Oxbridge, LSE and Imperial excepted, they must all necessarily and inevitably end up crushed to the size of an Oxo cube if we go on like this. www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

In October, I wrote about how Trump’s potential presidency could impact reproductive rights in Scotland. Never did I think it would be as explicit as the US veep spouting fear mongering, nonsensical lies about Scotland’s buffer zones. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

The one thing that has made my university experience a good one is the staff on the philosophy team. The lecturers and staff at the university ARE WHAT MAKE THE UNIVERSITY. Their plans to cut over 50% of staff are morally horrendous and will lead to the downfall of the university as a whole

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

I wish universities would 'start to ask questions' about how many academic 'leadership' roles they can afford! The proliferation of vice/deputy/pro/associate 'leadership roles' over the last 10-20 years has been quite extraordinary.

Dobbs has only worsened the impacts: As I reported for @nbcnews.com last year, abortion bans have also contributed to the closures of maternity wards, in part by driving OB-GYNs from red states, like Idaho: www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women have time to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.
