An absolutely gorgeous lap of Carsington Water yesterday. Today, I’m watching vacant cars bump into each other across the Schofield car park as they lose their grip on the ice. Sigh.

I'm very much looking forward to joining the InterAct Research Group (@interactemca.bsky.social) on the 28th of March to talk about 'how ‘vulnerability’ manifests as an interactional asymmetry in police interviews.' I'll be giving an overview of the work so far, then we'll get into some data.

Here, Emma Tennent & I combined calls made reporting domestic violence & abuse to the police in the UK & NZ. We documented how lockdowns provided a new form of spatial-moral order; previously ordinary activities of coming/going from home took on new moral meanings. www.emerald.com/insight/cont...
