Arresting pensioners for opposing genocide. Giving the police new powers to ban and restrict peaceful marches. This Labour government is implementing an incredibly dangerous authoritarian crackdown. Join @pscupdates.bsky.social tomorrow night to stand against it ✊

📐 How do scales define research practices and contexts? 🔎 How can an attention to scale help explore the complexities of social life or major global challenges? 📑 These were some of the questions that animated our workshop "Unpacking the Heuristics and Methodologies of Scale" on February 23-24.

#AcademicFreedom is the right to say everything but not anything. It is based on the rejection of bullshit. It only exists when it is actively practiced in the everyday. Refusing bullshit and telling the truth is practicing academic freedom.
