I talked to BBC news about the use of live facial recognition (LFR) by police at the British Grand Prix this past weekend. Questions should be raised re its legal basis, embedded racial and gender biases as well as human rights violations #police #humanrights #facialrecognition

University staff have seen pay fall by 25% since 2010, pensions cut by 35%, & face growing job insecurity. But universities are generating record income & vice-chancellor pay is soaring, with some on ยฃ700,000 salaries. That's why @UCU members are on strike today. Solidarity!

As a Disabled academic who works from home, I've observed recent #ucustrikes with @SwanseaUcu but not picketed as I felt I couldn't afford the energy, and to be even further behind on work when I return to my fixed term 12 month contract. /1 #ucuRISING

Tomorrow morning I'll be talking to @PMRadioWaves about breastfeeding in public, for their podcast. My main message, as always, is to stop being mean to people who're just feeding their infant, regardless of how they're feeding them.

This sounds so interesting (and I thought I'd never say that for another PhD!) especially for my ASC335 organised crime students.
First on campus teaching session in over 18 months. It felt so gooood! And a little bit stressful. But mostly good. So excited for my new #organisedcrime module @SwanseaUni #criminology #teamcrim
