Using social justice theory and vulnerability theory, we found that households in Scotland face unequal barriers and burdens to afford and access safe drinking water.🥤

We concluded that the water poverty definition used in the UK is inadequate for capturing the lived experience of struggling households and obscures the perpetuation of water injustice.

Our @echcharity #Haven in #Tranent is just 4wks old & hosted 100 visits. Is it working? Feedback from children & families says it is - "It's the first time in a long time I feel some relief", "I feel like a weight has been lifted", "I felt stressed, now I feel normal"

'My IVF journey is just one example of how life doesn’t stop when you start a PhD' This should be shared far and wide in academic circles #fertility #academia #phd
Such a moving account from @handerson107 about undertaking IVF whilst doing a PhD.phdwomenscot.wordpress.com/2…

My second round of IVF (back-to-back) has failed with extreme immune protocols. There needs to be more support for those going through fertility treatment in the workplace 🥺 It’s so hard to go through. I’m doing an MA in HE & will be doing an auto-ethnography of my experiences.
