Can we humanise peer review? In a new @lseimpactblog.bsky.social pactBlog post, Jenni Guthrie and I reflect on experiments with more open and relational approaches to review, and what they might offer scholarly communities. blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci... #PeerReview #AcademicPublishing
Can we humanise peer review? - LSE Impact
The peer review system is in trouble, but a more human relational approach could run against imperatives for increasingly routinised and scalable peer review.

Love this! SUCH impactful dissemination. 👇 Reminds me of the 'walking zine' idea - but I love this design even more than a t-shirt. You want your #research to have #impact WEAR IT! #CreativeMethods #ResearchImpact #AcademicSky
For me 2024 was characterised by going with the flow, catching currents and seeing where they took me. I was immersed in the Bridging the Silos #Autistic #Menopause study, and I had a fabulous time sharing research findings in creative ways. #AutRes
🧵The House of Commons administration plans to abolish its world leading parliamentary outreach team. @aileenwalker.bsky.social & @estrangeirada.bsky.social explain why cutting in person public engagement across the UK in favour of digital only engagement is a mistake. Blog 🔗⬇️
How can #hope & active citizenship emerge via #co-production? Our research on collaborator experiences mapped how 🤝 Relationships developed 🥕 #foodsystems knowledge expanded ✊ People gained advocacy-related skills, beliefs & capacities 💚 Hope for change grew See: bit.ly/Hope_CoPro #CoProWeek2026
This framework of social interactions reflects my own experience of messy #ParticipatoryResearch It's not always possible for everyone to be in the same room, & circumstances can change during the project. Flexibility to participants needs is an important form of respect!
💭 How do you report the dialogue and learning during #co-production and #co-design? Is the dialogue always held around a table? This Social Interaction and Learning Framework provides a way to communicating how we achieve dialogue in blended social interaction www.elgaronline.com/edcollchap-o...
Check out the "Next Generation Co-Production Impact Scheme, which will offer an opportunity for Early/Mid-Career Researchers to pursue opportunities to develop research impact in relation to #co-production research tackling societal challenges." 👇
The next ESRC IAA funding call closes on 27 November. We have 3 funding streams - responsive, rapid action & knowledge exchange fellowships. Find out more here: lssi.leeds.ac.uk/esrc-iaa/gui... Our IAA webpage contains a wealth of information for researchers looking to boost impact bit.ly/48zPuXk

Interesting exploration of how disgust can bridge from physical sensations through language to influence our moral judgements & behaviours. We must remain vigilant to how disgust is mobilised & who it serves. Something I hadn't thought to do before! #FoodSystems #FoodSystem #Foodie #FoodJustice
What is it about food that can mobilise our disgust? And what does that feeling really mean? Researcher Laura Gagliardi explores how the feeling can be weaponised for good or ill, and where lines between taste and moral disgust begin to blur. Read TABLE's latest essay here: buff.ly/o3I1lsh
Interesting reflections for anyone considering/undertaking a #PhD and doing #ParticipatoryResearch I think I encountered all these challenges in my journey!
Interested in understanding the tensions in PhD work between institutional structures and being true to #coproduction in undertaking #participatory action-oriented research? Check out this great i2Insights contribution by Raymond Hyma and Javier García-Martínez at i2insights.org/2026/06/23/p...
Great read, some key points about how we could increase the #resilience of our #foodsystems, including: 🥕Increasing and diversifying domestic production 💼Maintaining some trade, and networks for international knowledge exchange
“When shocks and crises become a regular feature of food systems, it can be far cheaper to invest in resilience over the longer term.” @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social explains why resilient self-reliance is about reducing vulnerability to food price shocks. www.foodagribusiness.world/agribusiness...
Such an important topic for anyone delivering #ParticipatoryResearch. Payment is *one* of the corner stones of delivering our work equitably. But it's so hard to do well for many reasons. Insights here 👇 #CoProduction #Research #Impact #EDI
Last month we held a Co-Pro Cuppa on the theme of "payment and alternatives to payment" for co-producers. We explored best practice when it comes to recognising co-producers for their time contributing to co-production. Read the blog about it here: www.coproductioncollective.co.uk/news/reflect...
Another reminder of the fragility of our current food and economic system, and the need for transformative and adaptative actions, as outlined by @worldresources.bsky.social www.wri.org/insights/how... #FoodSystem #FoodSecurity #Resilience #Climate
How to Transform Food Systems in the Face of Climate Change
Incremental adaptation alone won’t be enough in the world's climate change hotspots. Agricultural systems will need to fundamentally transform to survive in a warmer world.

This year’s potentially record-breaking El Niño could impact food systems, energy production, economies, ecosystems and human wellbeing.
Brilliant creative communication, and fascinating story about resisting censorship!
I just realised that my latest research comic "Contagious Information" is now up! I made this with Jiajun Liang & Yiran Xu about their research on the creative ways people in China responded to censorship in the wake of COVID.
Great insights into how academics can build relationships and creative positive impact in communities! Although interesting name/title give the current political situation in the UK! #ParticipatoryResearch #Community #CoProduction
🗣️"reform coalitions present a clear example of how academics can bridge divides, particularly with disadvantaged communities." #CoProduction #UrbanStudies #Geography
Great new report for those interested in #FoodSystems
Resilient self-reliance means food systems that can withstand shocks. Stronger local food systems. Support for farmers. Strategic food reserves. Fair trade. Public tools that keep food affordable when crises hit. These tools already exist. 📘 ipes-food.org/report/the-n...

"food issues are not always about food. The issues are very interlinked." Useful reflections here on how it is impossible to separate injustices in #FoodSystems from broader systemic barriers & challenges - including barriers preventing more BIPOC people being in academia & publishing #FoodJustice
