Final reminder to register for our workshop on 13th February (www.eventbrite.com/e/using-crea...) - we have very few tickets left! The workshop draws on the works of @letha-b.bsky.social on graphic ethnography and Liza Caruana-Finkel on embroidery as a creative method of feminist research practice.

"There are times when sociology must address real-world problems, however divisive and intense. Today the relationship between Israel and Palestine compels such a response, despite the risks – risks that are trivial considering the mounting death toll of the Gaza war."
RIP Michael Buroway

I am saddened and shocked by the news of the death of #Michael_Burawoy, to whom we owe the flourishing works on public sociology. I had the pleasure of being present at his keynote speech at the ESA 2024 conference on "Exiting from Settler Colonialism: Comparing Israel/Palestine and South Africa"

Join our fantastic workshop on 13 February on ‘Using creative methodologies in social research’, with Dr @letha-b.bsky.social and Liza Caruana-Finkel. Registration is required, visit our website for more details: www.universityofgalway.ie/bilqis/newse...

I recently experienced a reviewer's methodological misjudgment. This article is a great read for promoting methodological coherence in the review process.

Living two calendar lives is brutal. I just realised that my birthday, based on the Persian calendar, is in a few hours. I am not ready for that; I have no time for reflection whatsoever. I was happy that I could postpone my unfortunate thoughts until Tuesday. Alas...

I saw #Khruangbin last night in Dublin. When they played #Maria_Tambien, the videos of Googoosh were displayed on the wall, so I screamed as if I had seen my mother.
