The narrative is as ambiguous as the images are brilliant – the cream crawling, the water lying soft in the cistern

Sonically this is on another level. The 4/6/4 sonnet is great.

And even with all the unanswered questions there is the underlying wish for a simpler life

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.

Yesterday, I attended the inaugural lecture of my PhD advisor, Prof. Dr. Vivian Vignoles at Sussex, and I had the honour and privilege to introduce him. Let me celebrate this important day with a few remarks.

If we don't use our small poetry presses, we'll lose them. This is why I refuse to flinch or shy from asking you to purchase a copy of Whatever You Do, Just Don't, my second full collection.

Here's a sample poem from the book. Just drop me a DM and I'll sort out a signed copy for you...

Slow horses is a great series, from season 1 to 4. Season 5 is a bit less enjoyable until you reach the last episode that brings everything together. But why is-it such a success? Here is the social psychology of Slow horses, an interesting analysis:

Anyone who follows Matthew will have seen some delights here from this collection. Perhaps the most unexpected aspect though is the series of poems about individual named players from Aldershot FC in the 1980s. An unlikely subject matter, these diverse little poems comment, celebrate and enchant.

Lessons learned inspire future of social investment at JRF For our next decade of social investment we’re building on lessons of experience and inviting social enterprises, policymakers, wealth holders and others to join us in shaping the next chapter.

🌍 It's been 10 years since JRF made its first social investment, aiming to mobilise purpose-led capital as a tool in tackling poverty.

What started as an experiment has steadily evolved into a strategic, mission-aligned portfolio of over Β£17m.

"But just because a reader found Heaney’s surface sense pretty clear didn’t mean that they’d even begun to engage with its meaning. And those who like their poems to be either transparently simple or transparently complex will never get Heaney, since he insisted on a poem being both."

Far too little attention's given to this in research methods training. And since online surveys are now the default method - wrongly assumed to be quick, easy and cheap - we're in a big mess of our own making.

Even if 'real people' respond, surveys are often so badly designed data is meaningless.

Apart from all the rest, this is completely incompatible with encouraging integration.

Even children born in the UK to refugees will presumably have to be prepared for the possibility that at any moment they and they’re parents will be deported to somewhere they’ve never been.
