An exciting day getting a physical copy of the Routledge International Handbook of Sensory Criminology 🥳 such an amazing experience with all the editors and an incredible achievement for them all 🫶🏻
To top it my chapter secured second place for an internal PGR publication competition 🥹
*cries in criminologist* where do you even start with this 😭💀 clearly investing plenty of money into propaganda… the local reform councillor was using gofundme to print his own typed up letters in comic sans to post during the election and bro still won 💀
Collective action on climate is crucial. Scientists play an important role in driving change.
Our latest blog @the-wildlifetrusts.bsky.social on the need for @DefraGovUK to urgently address the lack of support for ongoing nature friendly farming that means great actions by farmers are being lost or can't be maintained.

A good long read about the state of farming in the food system today. Very sad to hear Peter lundgren selling. He's been a great advocate for nature friendly farming for years.

These stories amongst the rest of my interviewees for the PhD have been really difficult to listen to. The state of agri policy making everything even more uncertain
Thank you for sharing Vicki! Lots of really challenging stories to listen to during interviews
My co-authored long read with Dan Taylor 🧑🌾 sharing reflections and worries for the future of farming from our interviewees in their own words

The more we discover, the worse it gets. Now we learn the water companies wrote the guidance ensuring sewage sludge is not tested for the vast majority of contaminants before being spread on farmland. They gave themselves a free licence to dump hazardous waste. 🧵

So cute! That’s a brilliant reminder, we’ve always had bats too, just so hard to record them 🥲
Keep continuing to record new ones! Good timing to keep this record as we’ve got the national grid currently planning to put new pylon infrastructure right over us 💀
New birds unlocked 😎 can never manage to get it to pick up the red kites, tawny owl couple and partridges!
You couldn’t make it up - this is the same government that promised to deliver significant nature recovery - yet once again they’re slashing key nature funding & massively undermining farmers in the process. Madness
Our home is all on its own but it’s surrounded by very dense and mature hedgerow and evergreen trees. These have all remained untouched for at least a century. With my Dad’s very intricate feeding stations as well, I’ve been recording the birds, finding new ones everyday 🫶🏻
All I’m gonna say is it’s stressful being a lincs girlie right now 😅 also got locals jumping on the pro fracking bandwagon now but anti solar farms to protect our countryside?? Sheeple, plssss 🥲

Thank you so much 💚 To go from half marathon training and distances to nothing at all, feeling incredibly lucky to be up and about so early on into the healing process 🙏🏻
Day 17 post op and was finally able to join a short dog walk again as I haven’t been able to for months prior 🥹
It was a hell of a first 7 days, surgery was 6 hours and in ICU for 2 days, I’ve never experienced pain quite like it but finally released on the 5th day, each day gets better 💪🏻
Hoping this is my last hurdle during the PhD - spinal surgery! Had my final swim Saturday (or icy dip) and hoping this is my last day in a lot of pain. 3 (maybe 4) vertebrae to be fused, decompression & reconstruction. A Christmas Archie for good vibes all around ☺️

Current read, alongside a couple of Guy Shrubsole’s 🌱
Ah lovely! Very lucky to be on such a stunning campus 🤗
I’m also a PGTA at the University of Nottingham, helping to deliver first year core criminology modules 👩🏻🎓
The end of the PhD is in sight 👀 just one final personal hurdle to get over 🤞🏻
Reintroducing myself! BA&MA in criminology at Lincoln, now doing my PhD at Nottingham. I’m analysing the Agricultural Transition Plan using an environmental procedural justice framework&whether it can achieve/work towards environmental justice but also what the experience has been for farmers…
