Oxford University Has Failed Women Over Harassment Concerns, Staff Say The university has repeatedly been slow to act against male academics accused of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior, a Bloomberg investigation found.

This—on my former university, department, and advisor—is harrowing but required reading for all social psychologists. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Beyond Dichotomies: Rethinking Protest Tactics and How They Shape Allyship by Mete Sefa Uysal (university of Exeter) Peer Review as Conversation (90 Minutes) Reviewers: Yasemin Gülsüm Acar (St Andrews University) and Carmen Marazzi (Clark University) Abstract: Allyship in social movements does not emerge in a vacuum. It unfolds in contested political and moral contexts where the tactics used by marginalised groups play a critical role in shaping support from the general public. Yet, existing scholarship often collapses diverse protest forms into binary categories like normative vs. nonnormative or conventional vs. radical. Recent studies on confrontational collective action (Uysal et al., 2024,2025) challenge existing categorisations that treat protest tactics as fixed and morally preferable over one another. It sees protest tactics as a continuum in which they coexist within activists’ repertoires of resistance and shifts the focus to the conditions under which individuals transition between tactics against repression. Following this critique, I aim to discuss when confrontational and disruptive actions hinder and catalyse solidarity and allyship, rather than treating them as inherently alienating.
