I’m taking a moment to share one outcome from Moving Social Work that I’m especially grateful for. In April, I delivered 3 sessions of a training I designed from my research on conversations about physical activity between social care staff (SCS), people with disabilities & companions. 🧵1/12

The 29/04 I’ve been invited by the School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics at @newcastleuni.bsky.social to present my monograph. I’m honoured & terrified. I take the chance to ‘be a linguist again’ with pride & joy, but I’m afraid I forgot a bit this style of presentation! Stay tuned!

Finally great conversation led by Maddie Tremblett on AI and/in Qualitative Research. People writing down some thoughts on Menti. Such a great event, thanks to people’s input and participation!

Next is Lori Wright speaking about Patient and public involvement in qualitative research. One key point about this is: People we involve in research are not participants they are Partners. We do research together.

Kicking off the end-of-year Network event with Maddie Tremblett going over 2 intense year of wonderful network events; and then Keiko Kanno inviting participants to reflect on the relationship between Reflexivity and Positionality in our research.

Ready for tomorrow! Come join us! 🎄

📣✨We know that times are increasingly difficult in HE, and ECRs often shoulder much of the burden. We are also in the process of rethinking and reinvigorating the network. So… we want to put on another in person event, the first for a few years, before strategising our next moves. 🧵1/3

There is still time to register for our event! ;)

🌷🌼🪻Making the unfamiliar very familiar, I’m back in Bromsgrove collecting more conversations with Social Workers and people with Learning Disabilities, in the fantastic Community Learning Disabilities Team Worcestershire. 1/5

I saw on IG this wonderful #inclusivedisability image by @chronicloveclub.bsky.social and I wanted to say thank you! In my own work, we struggle to see imagery of real inclusive disabilities. It’s so important to give representation to all lived-experience, especially when we cannot directly see it!

This is part of the online event organised by Disability Rights UK, lead by Liddie Bone, launching a new resource: the Co-production Narrative. ✨✨✨ Check the resource here: www.disabilityrightsuk.org/resources/co... Very important inclusive work!👏🏻 2/2
