Considerations of ‘place’ and ‘space’ have become common in the literature on public and human services, most importantly in the form of ‘place-based’ approaches and ‘trusted space’. Whilst these all...

Third Sector Session #PPPConf2025

Peter Horner, @cresr-shu.bsky.social explored key ideas about meta-organisations

@drlizbailey.bsky.social, @york.ac.uk presented research mapping the Third Sector workforce

James Rees, @wlvuni.bsky.social discussed civil society's role in reducing social divides

Valeria Guarneros-Meza’s work reinforces some of things we are seeing in our own vcse mapping project about lack of understand of work of the sector and importance of the sector. #pppconf2025

Always thought provoking @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social! Important to really think about realities of participatory work. We often see this in the voluntary sector: balancing the demands on the sector, the degree of support needed to join in research and articulating the benefits to them. #pppconf2025

Hearing his lament for the cancelling of sure start is something that really resonates. First project I worked on as a masters student compared that with its us cousin. Such an innovative programme #pppconf2025

@ppp-journal.bsky.social - Lord David Blunkett is echoing the break down in solidarities we highlighted last week at the @socialpolicyuk.bsky.social

His call for us to come together and re-engage in both social and voluntary action gives us hope fo a way through the present moment. #pppconf2025

It was really interesting to both observe and experience the crossing from Greek to Turkish Cyprus!! #scos2025

Some insights from #scos2025 with Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan getting us to reflect on different gendered aspects of work as well as Agnieska and Igor Postula having us consider the odd liminal spaces of managers. Lots of ideas of work to revisit.

Excellent workshop from @lfb500.bsky.social and Caro Hunter! #scos2025

Experiencing Crossings through Craft - using the new materials approach. Really felt emotional about giving over a creation to others and learning a lot about communication and collaboration!

@uoysbs.bsky.social

Extremely important discussion about queerness and work. Some similar themes to race and work here. Eg inclusion, having to constantly educate, and various forms of conforming to pass at work. Thanks to Anne Theunissen and Grace Lordan #scos2025

York represents at #scos2025

Persistent inequality in accessing the elite professions in the UK. Compounded by social stratification and lack of ‘correct’ cultural capital.

@uoysbs.bsky.social

Starting with poetry - looking forward to all the interpretations of #crossings at #scos2025

Conference no2 of July - honoured to shift gears to focus on some organisational studies at #SCOS in Cyprus!

Great way to end with a friend who has always inspired me with her insights and work!

Looking forward to this!!

@easp-spa-2025.bsky.social conference finished!! Get home safe everyone!!

It’s really interesting to see the power inequalities within integrated care systems which will help inform our analysis of our VCSE mapping project.

#york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social

Have you used a causal loop diagram before to help understand complex systems? Really interesting to hear how it is being used to unpack integrated care. #york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social

Important considerations around how we judge impact and evaluate our services! #nhs #healthcareleadership #york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social

Is the NHS really over managed? #york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social

The debate about managers and medicine continues!!

#york2025 @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social @uoysbs.bsky.social

Kicking off our unique symposium on healthcare leadership hosted by colleagues @uoysbs.bsky.social as part of @easp-spa-2025.bsky.social! Still space available in SLB118. #york2025
