The fourth edition of our qualitative research text is on its way in 2026, with new additions to the editorial team, new chapters and updated content.

I remember way back asking SAGE for a cover that resembled a sassy chemistry book. They’ve delivered once again.

Front cover of the fourth edition of Analysing Qualitative Data in Psychology. This book will be published by SAGE later in 2026.

🔭 What’s the future of reflexivity & how do we put it into practice? New article in @natrevmethodsprimers.nature.com
I argue for three priorities 1) evaluation criteria 2) studying reflexivity as a socio-cognitive phenomenon 3) adapting it across research traditions
OA: rdcu.be/eX79L

Title: The future of reflexivity in practice: building a collective methodological agenda by Audrey Alejandro -Reflexivity is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of high-quality research, yet methodological guidance on how to do reflexivity in practice remains limited. Drawing on emerging initiatives to operationalize reflexivity, three priorities for advancing a collective agenda are identified — turning reflexivity into a teachable, actionable set of methods.

This paper is batshit insane. It also (of course) has A TON of bullshit references that do not exist. Hey @springernature.com retract this AI slop and fire the editor that let it pass. There is evidently no review or quality assurance process in place at this journal.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

Looking for advice

Has anyone needed international police clearance for a role and faced barriers due to not being a resident or citizen?

A friend has an offer but can’t obtain a Canadian police check despite using all official routes.

Any insight on how this can be resolved would be appreciated.

Great stuff here from @soozaphone.bsky.social about the flimsiness of arguments being trotted out today against lowering the drink drive limit in England & Wales
open.substack.com/pub/suzigage...

I might be one of the cynics complaining about enforcement though...

OF COURSE drink driving laws need to be updated in England and Wales

We are using antiquated regulations, and are out of step with much of the rest of the world

Honestly the best part of the job is the comments. They’re funnier than the actual website. If we ever run out of ideas, we’ll just pivot to comments.

Yes, I was literally just thinking about this. Ethics is about more than being technically correct, and this negative reaction is plausibly foreseeable I think. Some reflection by the researchers and ethics board seems in order

With increased attention to student mental health, tailored support for EDs must also be prioritized. Early intervention and seamless care paths are critical. Learn more:

Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.

Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal

The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

... but as a player, I've got special admiration for restraint coupled with a bit of twinkliness and/or wonkiness: Kristin Hersh; Jason Molina; Grant McClennan; Tom Greenhalgh; Ed Crawford; Martin Carthy; Andy Kerr; Nathan Salsburg; Joel RL Phelps, Kelly Deal. Those are the ones to learn from.

As a listener, I really enjoy an expressive Andy Cohen / Doug Martsch / Marissa Paternoster kind of player. And I also love a distinctive 'one-off' sound like with Steve Albini, Richard Thompson, Shannon Wright, Robin Wattie, David Rawlings or Bill Orcutt - you know immediately who you're hearing.

Your commitment to international law isn’t shown by invoking it to protect your friends, but by supporting it when it should protect your enemies.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.
