The inaugural lecture of someone you really like is a pleasure; I'm rather in awe of Professor Pam Alldred's lifetime of achievements and authenticity (including the stripey tights). "A good girl never goes anywhere without her politics" - Yass! Congrats! @AllPam @ntu_research

Reading this social psychology take on the weekend's events helped me... I was heartened to see the quick off the mark anti-fascist response. Sheffield in particular. @ProfJohnDrury 's blog explains why that response matters so much.

@theAliceRoberts So he'd only *not charge* for the courses with the most expensive infrastructure? Spoken like a person with zero understanding of university delivery.

@DrMaryKeeling @USC_MVP It was fascinating to hear your work. The bridging identities you mentioned make sense in coping responses to traumatic injury too.... and the concurrent impact on family identity change.

Perfectly timed with the #CRSV international day to end conflict associated sexual violence, @Blerina_Kellezi 's #icsih6 talk summarised a holistic approach to justice developed from many years of research with the most vulnerable trauma populations. @gihntu @ntu_research
Up next today at #ICSIH6, @Blerina_Kellezi highlights the important role of holistic justice when it comes to understanding responses to, and impacts of, Mass Human Rights Violations @psychologyNTU

@GMclocklin 's developing @gihntu research into non-consensual sharing of nude and sexual images today at #icsih6 highlighted how much impact media portrayal has on survivors' intention to report.
In another great presentation, @GMclocklin talks about the causes of intergroup conflict between police and victim-survivors of image-based sexual abuse. @psychologyNTU #ICSIH6

My lovely @gihntu colleague @DarelCookson provided great conspiracy theory food-for-thought today at #icsih6. Fascinated to hear of an association between conspiracy beliefs and Family identity... relateable!

Already loving @ICSIH6 : I'm in joyful student mode again, learning about applying biometric measures of allostatic load in social identity research. Thank you @EadaoinWhelan3 @grace_mc7 for content and @PsychologyNTU for sending me.

Being a trauma psychologist today meant taking a "break" from marking to attend a brilliant lecture on wartime (WWII) sexual slavery or "comfort women" by Dr Sachiyo Tsukamoto. Thank you @ntu_research ...the colleague conversations after made my week.

What a wonderful idea! I 💜 this collaboration. With cost of living, getting workplace-ready is even more challenging for our students than it ever was. This is a triple-winner: sustainability; employability; fairness to students from less affluent backgrounds.
It was fantastic to launch the Professional Student Wardrobe, in partnership with @WhiteRoseShop, at our City Campus this week 👗👔 It provides NTU students and graduates with free, professional clothing for career related activities 👏 Find out more 👉
