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...
Tech abuse is good business and it shouldn't be. We need urgent regulation now. Laura Bates says it all here.

This, but for my #Management & #Organizational academic colleagues
Congratulations, I enjoyed this one (although not the issue). Really resonated with some of the research I've done with Sarah.
And lord knows we need that synonym function

It was our intention to do a study on Aurora and their IWD takeover... just need the time to trawl archive data :/
That was spooky, I was literally just thinking that I need to email you back!
I'm back! Is BlueSky still lively? LinkedIn is just soul-destroying, no?
Thanks for sharing Sarah!
It'll be a bit quiet from me whilst on maternity leave. Merry Christmas to all, and a peaceful New year <3
Rage stage! Great term. Funnily enough I start with the small stuff to make me feel like I can do it... but I should definitely try to 'eat the frog' and get to the main problems...
It's always so fascinating to hear other people's approaches. I have to draft the letter first, as a kind of working to-do list. That drives me to get on and edit, but... this time round trying to think straight whilst literally waiting for contractions is a bit ridiculous, haha!
What's the fastest you've ever turned around a (major) paper revision? And what's your strategy- letter first, then edits? Something else?

Sharing some love from our ETHOS research centre's winterval celebrations last night.
Community is the *best* thing about academia, working alongside smart, passionate people at all stages of their career. I feel very lucky!

@michaeletter.bsky.social may be useful to you
If it takes as long to get to a full professor as it took me to get to from associate prof to reader, then yes!
Thanks Josie! And welcome to bluesky, it's quite nice :)
Thank you! I need to think how to translate what a Reader is into the normal world. Baby professor? Professor-In-Waiting?
Hahaha. My mum said "You've been doing that since you were four".
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
Exciting news, organizational researchers! @orgstudies.bsky.social is now on Bluesky! And so are our co-editors-in-chief: @tzilber.bsky.social and @paoloquattrone.bsky.social
The Strand is looking different
Thanks Stefano!
😅
Today I attended a lecture online and listened, thought, and thought some more. Just for intellectual growth. Kind of what I thought academia would be like!
Yes I can see when it would be helpful in that case. I guess one meta-worry I have is that journals will come to *expect* ever-larger datasets as a result of growing AI use, without the reflection of what is lost, or unique, about qualitative, smaller studies.
