There are significant disparities in economic and social outcomes for people living in different regions. As a result, place-based policy has seen a renewed interest. @OECD has published several papers on approaches and trends in place-based policies. shorturl.at/Zjuxb

It really was an inspiring meeting and after a year on committee I’m excited to be taking on the role of membership secretary!
At @ucustandrews agm now. So very inspiring to listen to reports about how much comrades have done over last year. Trade unionists work on this stuff as a second or even third job, when it is often the primary focus of management. An honour to fight together with these comrades.

Heading outside my comfort zone today for #PSA24. Presenting on navigating the complexity of impartiality in parliamentary research services from work with @mpmon. Hoping @marcgeddes will protect me from the political scientists!

Reviewing contributions for @UKKMbF #KMb2024 I am absolutely astonished how far the field has come since 2018. No more 'barriers to research use', it's all about creative methods to engage with big questions and disrupt power relationships. Can't wait until we gather in Dundee!
