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.

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 diagram illustrates how immediate outcomes (e.g. being listened to, gaining practical advocacy experiences, building relationships) led to further outcomes such as building confidence or increasing desires and beliefs around making change.

In turn these outcomes combine and lead to further outcomes such as action-oriented hope and active citizenship.

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!

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

"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

Fascinating blog applying #Posthumanism thinking to the medical humanities My fav so far thepolyphony.org/2023/12/14/s... Proposes engaging speculative #ethics, rather than abstract biomedical ethics, to make visible the messy, situated, relational networks of care within & beyond the health system

In #Posthumanism research we aim to de-centre humans But are there risks of erasing human voices & how to balance these w/ opportunities of re-conceptualising our relations with the world See a special issue on this topic edited by Karin Murris: journals.sagepub.com/toc/ciea/23/3 #NewMaterialism
