- Reposted by Jane CallaghanVery exciting that our paper on qualitative researchers' experiences of the peer review process has struck a chord and is the third most downloaded article from an APA journal in 2025! @janeemcallaghan.bsky.social @jeffnz.bsky.social @andrealamarre.bsky.social @joannasemlyen.bsky.social
- The 3rd most downloaded APA article of 2025 dives deep into a big challenge for #qualitative researchers: #peerreview feedback that doesn’t align with their values and methodology. Check out the study in Qualitative Psychology: bit.ly/3NIXcbY @vicclarke.bsky.social @ginnybraun.bsky.social
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanThe Sheriff in Cumberland County, Maine confirmed that ICE detained a U.S. citizen who is a Black corrections recruit. This is racial profiling, unchecked power, and state violence happening in real time. #AbolishICE #Maine #FDT
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanThe Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.
- When someone cites you and you realise you said something quite clever.. :) young people’s capacity for agency is “socially, relationally and materially constituted, rather than being an essential quality or production of the individual child” (Callaghan et al., 2025, p. 8).

How come the most precarious die and the richest are just fine? #bbcqt
- If you ever have to get top up insurance for a young driver, don't bother with Veygo Tay crashed my car 3 weeks ago. These jokers havent even got it out of storage yet. £750 excess, no customer service, no sense of urgency. It is so bad it borders on a scam.

- Reposted by Jane CallaghanI was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
- Quite bizarre. Why turn away from the very thing that has made teen vogue relevant.
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties. Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan. Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanVery disappointing to see such political interference in the curriculum. Whatever one might think about aspects of the existing curriculum (and I certainly have my own criticisms of it), it must be remembered that many individuals and communities gave their time and expertise in its development.

- Reposted by Jane CallaghanToday is a good day to remind everyone that the US narrative claiming the President of Venezuela is a drug trafficker is 100% lies. The Trump administration knows this, the Nobel committee knows this... it is a campaign to manufacture consent for invasion. Don't fall for it.

- Universities have been saying that the cross subsidy model doesn't work. We have been saying it for some time. So... um... why are politicians and policy makers surprised that the sector is in free fall? Universities did *not* make this mess. But my god we are bearing the brunt.

- Reposted by Jane CallaghanI have disagreed with her in the past, and she blocked me, but this is the most shocking thing I have seen her post. She is a headmistress! I expect more wisdom from someone in her position. I sincerely hope he doesn’t shape the future and in my opinion he was the ‘worst of us’!
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanPeer reviewers are exhausted. It's common to spend *months* inviting reviewers, getting refusals, inviting more, maybe 12 or more, then 2 agree but 1 doesn't complete, so you go again. That's why your paper is in limbo. I'm very sorry, it's awful, but it's also an untenable academic labour issue.

- Do you think an associate Dean for Research should be someone with a significant Research profile? Or is managing Research a different job from doing it?
- I am entirely bemused by this. Victoria Clarke is one of the most prominent methodologists in the world. This is evidenced by multiple metrics. From this article, it seems that her university, @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social are aware of this. blogs.uwe.ac.uk/research-ext...
- But for reasons no serious academic in the world understands, Dr Clarke is not a full professor. I really would love it if @uwebristolofficial.bsky.social would explain why it is that the only woman on this list is not a professor. It's not that whole 'not having a penis' thing, is it?
- Reposted by Jane CallaghanEarly reports of a school shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis (I was baptized at the church there). As always: it's the guns. The US is the only country in the world that politically tolerates and legally ensures the routine mass slaughter of its own citizens.
- Guess which uwe academic isnt a full professor. Hint. It is a woman. Its probably the only person on the list you have actually heard of... blogs.uwe.ac.uk/research-ext...
