The drastic decline in local government spending from 2010 was associated with a 9% lower probability of giving birth among the poorest third of women in England. Laura Sochas and Jenny Chanfreau write about #reproductivejustice and #austerity in The Sociological Review magazine. buff.ly/lyJ7i4U

Cannot tell you how much I hate this & how ashamed & angry I am that @ukri.org have taken this step. We KNOW this sort of gAI is socially biased, we KNOW it favours slopAI output over human-written. Our research landscape is falling apart due to underfunding, & they do this? it's *appalling*

UT Austin has barred students from studying WGS, even as it holds the archives of extraordinary feminists like Lugones. Harvard has demolished WGS, with essentially no experts left who can teach its vast feminist archives, from suffrage to Angela Davis and June Jordan at the Schlesinger Library 😞
