That made a lot of sense. I research class inequality which is a big problem so this was really helpful

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, said extending Trump's tax cuts for the rich is "the most important economic issue of the day." When asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25 an hour, he said, "No, sir."

Gregg Wallace says complaints came from ‘middle-class women of a certain age’ Not the best defence. Also a bit of gauntlet other women to come forward. Implication - working class or young women would read this as banter. I suspect this isn’t true. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I agree there shouldn’t be an either/or - but sometimes it feels like there is an implicit knowledge hierarchy.

Having embarked on an impact project, there does seem to be a preference amongst practitioners for quant data - things to be measured - while qual comes across as interesting but not “proof” enough. Be interested to read anything on this

My PhD examiner told me to spend 80% of energy (not necessarily time) on things that mattered to me. I’m trying to do that - impact work, working with great colleagues, ignoring demands of the promotion ladder
