I've signed the open letter backing Ghent's investigation into Nathan Cofnas. I respect that colleagues differ. But I remain concerned about what I saw as a racist pile-on against a Black scholar in the weeks before his death. If you agree, consider signing it docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

"of the almost 300,000 federal jobs slashed in 2025, Black women were a stunning 33 percent of those cuts." @natalieymoore.bsky.social shares the stories of four Black women laid off from federal jobs at CDC, USDA, USAID, and DOJ under DOGE. hammerandhope.org/article/trum...

What Happened to the Black Women Trump Purged From the Federal Work Force?

Over a year later, they are struggling to find financial footing and make sense of the racist backlash that displaced them.

Very exciting that our paper on qualitative researchers' experiences of the peer review process has struck a chord and is the third most downloaded article from an APA journal in 2025! @janeemcallaghan.bsky.social @jeffnz.bsky.social @andrealamarre.bsky.social @joannasemlyen.bsky.social

The 3rd most downloaded APA article of 2025 dives deep into a big challenge for #qualitative researchers: #peerreview feedback that doesn’t align with their values and methodology. Check out the study in Qualitative Psychology: https://bit.ly/3NIXcbY @vicclarke.bsky.social @ginnybraun.bsky.social

When someone cites you and you realise you said something quite clever.. :) young people’s capacity for agency is “socially, relationally and materially constituted, rather than being an essential quality or production of the individual child” (Callaghan et al., 2025, p. 8).

“Where are the findings? You only provide quotes.” New article considers qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent peer review feedback Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.1037/qup0... Few quotes follow 🧵

Although peer review is one of the central pillars of academic publishing, qualitative researchers’ experiences of this process have been largely overlooked. Existing research and commentary have focused on peer reviewers’ comments on qualitative articles, which are often described as indicative of a quantitative mindset or hostility to nonpositivist qualitative research. We extend this literature by focusing on qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent reviewer and editor comments—comments that are incommensurate with the conceptual foundations of the reviewed research. Qualitative researchers (N = 163) from a range of health and social science disciplines, including psychology, responded to a brief qualitative survey. Most contributors reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the assumptions and expectations of postpositivist research and reporting. Some also reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the norms and values particular to specific qualitative approaches. Contributors were concerned that peer reviewers often accept review invitations when they lack relevant methodological expertise and editors often select peer reviewers without such expertise. In response to methodologically incongruent comments, many contributors described a process of initially “pushing back” and explaining why these comments were incongruent with their research. When this educative approach was unsuccessful, some knowingly compromised the methodological integrity of their research and acquiesced to reviewer and editor requests. Earlier career researchers especially highlighted the powerlessness they felt in the peer review process in the context of a “publish or perish” academic climate. We end by outlining contributors’ recommendations for improving the methodological integrity of the peer review of qualitative research.

I must have missed the wall-to-wall coverage of demands for an investigation into Nigel Farage's lies about being a racist Or about whether he knew Nathan Gill Or about who bought his house in Frinton

What’s Scotland supposed to do? Consult Nostradamus to find out how we have another referendum? Rachel Reeves says that even if the SNP wins a majority on its own at Holyrood the UK government will still not permit another vote. It’s a democratic outrage My @heraldscotland.bsky.social column

"another word for austerity is living within our means" So how come in the "5th richest country in the world" (as we're often told), it's the poorest whose kids are dying from mould & the disabled clobbered to death by the govt? How come the most precarious die and the richest are just fine? #bbcqt

If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with Veygo Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet. £750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency. It is so bad it borders on a scam.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties. Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan. Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

Very disappointing to see such political interference in the curriculum. Whatever one might think about aspects of the existing curriculum (and I certainly have my own criticisms of it), it must be remembered that many individuals and communities gave their time and expertise in its development.

Don't see the new Aotearoa NZ histories curriculum online yet. But Act are already crowing about having gutted it. community.scoop.co.nz/2025/10/new-...
