If you work for a refugee-facing resettlement organisation or group please take our survey so that we can understand gaps and needs in LGBTIQ friendly service provision. The survey will take 10-15 minutes, is totally anonymous, and can be accessed here swinuw.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe…

An amazing ECR and very proud to be Noorie’s supervisor. Read this one, ground breaking work on stereotypical constructions of masculinity in a refugee camp setting, well done Noorie!

Well done, Noorie Safa! Co-written by CRP's @rachrites & @ProfKMDunn, this study "found that stereotypical masculinities play a pivotal role in reinforcing gender-based violence by maintaining & reproducing unequal power relations & gender order." tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

As some of you know, my book was published during COVID. I’ve got 5 free copies that I’ll give away to anyone who wants to review it or use it as part of their teaching. DM me if you’re interested.

Everybody has a precarious employment in academia story, mine got ‘slightly’ less precarious this week, both a privilege and a relief. A job as lecturer in social sciences at WSU, and name on the door to boot.
