Today is the first ever UN World Day for Glaciers so it feels appropriate to highlight the cutting edge research within IoSS in this area. Work conducted last week collecting radar data on the Hofsjökull ice cap in Iceland as is a great example of this.

6-7% UK population are privately educated. The richest 5% mostly send their children to private schools. Reporting of VAT on private school fees is arguably motivated by the interests of the most powerful people in U.K. society. liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/lab...

6% of adults attended elite fee paying schools, yet disproportionately high n’s are on most important decision making bodies in UK society. Today we mark a shift from 1/2 of Tory Cabinet from fee paying schools to 0 in today’s Labour cabinet. This is a remarkable moment, whatever your politics.

Research demonstrates how, amongst other sexist features, media presents women politicians as unknowing and unfit for the job compared to their male counterparts whose fitness for job is assumed as standard. The Reeves CV ‘outing’ is a classic eg. of this bias. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Important critique of the ‘right fit’ discourse from @profdamienpage.bsky.social But are we simply seeking to diversify talent? Or are we seeking a culture where voices that challenge the status quo are welcomed and diverse, academic ways of being find a home? Can we aim for both?

We say we are producing evidence-based implications for policy and practice, but what, if any, processes of knowledge production are we using? New paper reflects on how the lack of frameworks, processes, and strategies in recommendation production leave it open to multiple pressures and biases.

Not posh enough for the job? Despite working class applicants having significant strengths over their middle/upper class peers, discrimination during recruitment continues, shored up by class bias embedded in implicit and explicit job criteria. #ProtectClass explore.bps.org.uk/content/repo...
