What an excellent call to action ... "to develop politically informed action on PA." Bravo Tepi and colleagues. I believe traditional scholarship (which is important of course) can be transcended in favour of creative, challenging and disruptive work.

Disgraceful simplistic/draconian approach, and the gall to present themselves as 'inclusive'. Complex policies required for complex issues. I've been involved in hockey most of my life, but told EH today that I'll no longer contribute to anything under their banner www.bbc.com/sport/hockey...

"Sport at the Conjuncture: Sport History, Sexual Abuse, and Resistance" Our latest. Certainly my most radical contribution. It's a critique of sport history, a plea for historians to engage more in the present, and a call for a collaborative project on 🇨🇦 sport. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I'm reading up on suffientarianism - theory that justice requires that everyone has enough. Has radical implications when that's not the case. I Also wonder how research could be reshaped towards a priority of everyone having sufficient
