Reposted by Bramble Gardiner (they/them)Helen Kara @drhelenkara.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Can 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 #AcademicPublishingblogs.lse.ac.ukCan we humanise peer review? - LSE ImpactThe peer review system is in trouble, but a more human relational approach could run against imperatives for increasingly routinised and scalable peer review. 085

Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 30/06/2026This 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! 021

Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Interesting 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 110
Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Interesting reflections for anyone considering/undertaking a #PhD and doing #ParticipatoryResearch I think I encountered all these challenges in my journey! 010
Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Great 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 010
Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Unfortunately in many areas of change I work in the bottom line is there's not enough money circulating. It's unclear how we can sufficiently slow/reverse wealth extraction/concentration. Cooperatives/social enterprises are great but their emergence is slow! Taxing those with wealth/power is hard. 010
Bramble Gardiner (they/them) @bramblegardiner.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Such an important topic for anyone delivering #ParticipatoryResearch.
