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

Unfortunately 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.
