    Cornell University case reminds me of the Jane Doe I know (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    SEVEN. That’s the number of hours at the centre of the Cornell case. The number of hours that will be scrutinised and dissected by a justice system and a court of public opinion, seeking the truth of what happened to Jane Doe across their span. We will undoubtedly hear a lot about those seven hours. What we will hear less about are the hours, months and years that came after them. I know a Jane Doe. A woman full of life and joy who met an abusive man in the same way that all the other Jane Does

    The UK is a stickler for punishment. But it's not bringing down crime (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    THE UK Government being self-defeating in their policy ambitions is hardly a new phenomenon – why else would the independence movements of all three devolved nations be gaining momentum if not for that reason. And yet despite that fact, the lack of astuteness still manages to take me by surprise from time to time. This week, Youth Justice Minister Jake Richards spoke on the Government’s potential plans to financially penalise and even imprison the parents of children who commit crime. An effort

    Dropping neurodivergent bill lets down the entire disabled community (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    WHEN I wrote to John Swinney last week, after learning that the Learning Disabilities, Autism and Neurodivergence Bill (LDAN) had been abandoned by the Scottish Government, I did so in the hope that not only would he reconsider his decision, but also because I wanted him to hear about the human cost. Needless to say, he’s yet to respond. He has, in his defence, made it abundantly clear where neurodivergent people in Scotland stand when it comes to his priorities, so it’s safe to say my expectati

    Reflection over Jason Arday’s death must lead to a new perspective on autism (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    THERE has been a lot of commentary over the past week on the tragic death of Jason Arday. I almost didn’t write anything. There is something deeply uncomfortable about the way we all jump to collectively analyse, dissect and consume the life of someone we didn’t know, particularly in the immediate aftermath of their death. But as an autistic person currently navigating academia myself, I feel there is a perspective missing from this conversation. I’m not here to decisively say whether Jaso

    Women are being failed as the cult of thinness returns (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I’VE been searching for the right words for this for a while now. I am acutely aware of the pressures young women are under to conform to beauty standards deliberately designed to remain just out of reach. I loathe centring our bodies in any conversation but the re-emergence of the trend to shrink our bodies to the point of emaciation is incredibly damaging. I am 29 and, like many women my age, my relationship with my body is complicated. I think existing as a young woman today almost guarantees
