Our ETHOS seminars are go! Complete with some typos on my homemade poster, but hey ho...

Good morning from King's Urgent Care Unit. I've got a minor hand injury that the GP couldn't help with, so I'm just in a queue at A&E. Seems ridiculous, and I feel guilty for taking up space, but here we are. Anyone want to take bets on how many hours to come?

I'm still reeling from the news that so many #UniversityOfNottingham faculty received letters of redundancy. 600 jobs to go, across loads of schools including the Business School. I just can't quite believe it has come to this. Shocking mismanagement. Thinking of my ex-colleagues & professors.

Participant lists for events: It's just occurred to me how helpful they can be for some people facing social anxiety about attending events, or needing to avoid certain others (cf. #MeToo). But am I missing an ethical issue with sharing lists of registerered attendees? Privacy...?

I feel guilty about spending the day reading research. Is that because it doesn't feel as 'productive'? My job title is 'Reader' for goodness' sake! Something has gone awry...

I was promoted to Reader! A rather odd academic job title that is dying out... but recognises the strength of my research standing. Hurrah!

This reflects the challenges we see on the ground for women staff, as well as the broader political and cultural backslide on gender equity

#AI #chatbots conducting #interviews is wrong on so many levels: - Ethically (duty of care to our participants; huge questions about privacy & protection of data) - Methodologically (distance between us & data means we risk losing the depth & rigour that qualitative methods provide) And more...

I'm going on maternity leave in ~3 weeks for 2nd baby. Trying to battle the rising panic of taking months out of work after a not very productive (academically speaking) year. My head knows that it will be fine, my anxiety is not listening! Anyone else been there? @academic-chatter.bsky.social

I'm reminded of a seminar with Doug Holt, a marketing prof, who'd worked on segmentations of US citizens & what they needed to act on climate. Some people *wanted* to be told how to live, they wanted direction. Others needed incentives. Others needed different frames again.

I'm trying to write a paper for one of the *high-ranking* management journals, & realised that the formulaic way we've been told to write mean that AI could have written a fair chunk of it. Creativity will be necessary to stand out from soulless mediocrity. Thought of you @amandagoodall.bsky.social

Back on Bluesky to get a feel for it again- X is a cesspit of bots and crowing, validated bigots celebrating Trump's win. It is not a good space for anything anymore.
