#socrel — Public Fediverse posts

Very sorry to miss the plenary, but @krysiawally and I heading are off to Bristol for #SOCREL. Thank you to everyone at #CCDS #DisabilityImpact23 for the fantastic range of papers, research & ideas shared. Always fantastic to take part in disability studies events.

I see more people are finding Mastodon all the time - hi to new followers! Today was mainly preparing for #CCDS and #SOCREL. My multi-conference trip starts tomorrow - I'm excited to be sharing a panel on power, #disability & narratives of #belief with @krysiawally and Dr Emma Swai. This year's conference presentations have really helped refine my ideas for the journal article I'm aiming to write next. And now I'm pondering takeaway for dinner...

Home from two days of #DRUK board meetings (which were fantastic - working in disabled-led collaborative spaces is a total joy). Now I've got 3 days to flop before I need to finish preparing for #CCDS and #SOCREL conferences, and then running between Liverpool and Bristol in one week - this time with friends for company and co-presenting. (My broken wheelchair hoist is now fixed, otherwise that could have been quite the challenge!)

I've put my Twitter on my #SOCREL poster (along with Masto), because my researched community is overwhelmingly still there. The poster is about how vital participatory research & knowledge exchange are in this field, so I go where they are (even if I use Twitter less now). Many disabled Christians in my research felt like they were "the only one" before they found an interpretive community on Twitter & understandably fear being isolated again. Still worried about social media gatekeeping though
