Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

Self-harming is on the increase in women’s prisons Hundreds of vulnerable female inmates have self-harmed in Scotland’s "pressure cooker" women’s prisons. Scottish Prison Service (SPS) bosses warn that pressure is ramping up in the women’s estate as the number being jailed rises many of whom have severe mental health issues. SPS data released under Freedom of Information legislation shows that 428 women self-harmed between 2022-2024 with self-inflicted injuries known to include cuts, burns and drug overdose, as well as attempted suicide.

Trata de personas: investigan abusos contra temporeros llevados desde Chile a Inglaterra Cerca de 130 trabajadores agrícolas de la Región de O’Higgins –la mayoría peruanos y bolivianos, además de ocho chilenos– viajaron en junio a un campo cercano a Hereford, con la promesa de sueldos mil...

Here is a newspaper article about the case (in Spanish). It's shameful but the UK government and authorities don't thake this seriously. I went to the police with the workers and they said "there was no criminality involved" and refuse to register the case. www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pai...

Last year I had in my flat 2 Chileans who managed to escaped from a farm in England (same one mentioned in the article). They were brought here under flase pretenses using the seasonal workers visa. Fortunately, the Chilean government took this seriously (after some back and forth) and helped them.

I love to read but I realised that I was reading less and less because I was stuck trying to read "paper" books... now I constantly have a book, an ebook and an audiobook... so I can enjoy them at any time and place.

To defeat the far-right, we need to change the narrative on migration For too long, the actions, policies and language of mainstream politicians and media in the UK have contributed to the normalisation of racist, anti-migrant and Islamophobic discourses. Given this,…

The UK's mainstream politics & media have normalised racist and anti-migrant rhetoric, paving the way for far-right violence.

On International Migrants' Day, we revisit our blog by @peterkane.bsky.social on the need to change the narrative on migration. #IMD2024
