As the UK's first safe consumption room opens in Glasgow this week- a wonderful milestone for the harm reduction community- I wrote a brief article remembering the contribution of my friend @PeteKrykant_OPC who risked everything for this back in 2020 https://t.co/ibYcV16Kba

Former heroin addict Peter Krykant set up a safe consumption van during Covid, at great personal cost. But his sacrifice paved the way for real change, says Birkbeck’s Kojo Koram

I'm humbled and very touched that Cunning Folk has won this year's Katharine Briggs award from the @FolkloreSociety - it's hard to express what it means to add my research to the historical canon, but I'm grateful that it's in the world and being read

Publication day for TERRE PIATTE - A FLAT PLACE in Italian!
@NoreenMasud, che a sedici anni ha lasciato il Pakistan perché ripudiata dal padre, è mossa dalla necessità di capire e di ritrovarsi, e lo fa attraversando paesaggi che l'accompagnano in un dialogo serrato con l’immenso «posto piatto» che si porta dentro. https://t.co/qDQeZ7SEDf
