COVID19 is exacerbating societal fault lines+ inequalities, and the ecological crisis requires fundamental social transformations. Social sciences are increasingly marginalized/under attack; academia more and more characterized by high workloads, precarity and underfunding. 2/10

Most importantly, if you're an ESA member, PLEASE VOTE! The turnout in 2019 was 25%. Let's make sure to increase that this year. 10/10

My significant experience within the ESA, and as an academic activist, make me a very strong candidate for President - one who can bring the Executive Committee, RNs, NAs and membership together to deal with both current and future challenges. PM/email me to hear more! 7/10

ESA membership contributions should go to a transparent+democratic association characterized by inclusivity+ accessibility of its events, publications and membership, especially for scholars in marginalized and/or precarious positions. 5/10

Achieving this requires a professional, well governed and robust organization! ESA has to be a good employeer with respect for employee rights + professional working environment; with a well-functioning office+staff who can draw on and develop their skills and expertise 4/10

I am convinced of ESA’s potential to make a difference across Europe and beyond, despite formidable societal challenges. We need to be outspoken, influential, and proactive advocates for the interests of sociology, and social science generally. 3/10

I’ve been off Twitter for a week since the death of my friend and colleague David H J Morgan. So glad I saw him, and that we did some work together, in early March. I just can’t imagine the sociological landscape without him, he was just so special academically and personally.

I'm reading famous Sociologist Bruno Latour talking about how the lockdown has been a kind of retreat, a moment for reflection, even for those of us who aren't spiritual. Not for parents of young children, parents of teens, or carers, or everyone who had to carry on working, omg.
