I've really enjoyed making these worksheets. The Uncommon Sense podcast is such a great resource for making sociological research accessible to the general public, and a fab teaching aid! 💡💖

We are excited to announce the launch of #lessonplans tied to our #Uncommonsense #podcast. Each highlights relevant AQA & Cambridge OCR modules, and shares recommended reading. You can find all episodes listed in this news story, here. Engage! Enjoy! Share!

Had an absolute blast at #MeCCSA2025 with the Women's Network, and also talking about gendered social media representations of paid work. Shout out to our social media team for capturing it so well!

I had such a good time at the @meccsa2025.bsky.social conference last week! Highlights include presenting some ideas on class, domestic labour and the mental load, @nweidhase.bsky.social's fab paper on corporate queens and girlbosses, and winning the pub quiz with @meccsawomensnet.bsky.social pals!

Brilliant advice for those applying for academic jobs! ⬇️

Following on from mentoring session with @meccsawomensnet.bsky.social I thought it would be useful to share this 🧵 on academic job applications again.

Karen Boyle @profkarenboyle.bsky.social · Jan 19

I am reading a *lot* of job applications atm so here’s a thread of my dos and donts for academic job applications. My experience is Humanities in UKHE so may play out differently elsewhere. 🧵
