'Starting from the South' highlights the need to centre Southern understandings and approaches in #humanitarian and #development #aid.

My chapter on #knowledgemanagement outlines new starting points for collaboration between Southern and Northern actors - towards genuinely #participatory #localised and #inclusive #KM4D.

Today is my last day managing the RADIX account. I'll use the opportunity to give a short overview of the disaster related research I've done since 2015🙂I look at #knowledgemanagement for disasters, focusing on #localised #particpatory and/or #inclusive approaches.

Interesting report on supportive infrastructures for #ArtsFreelancers (&how current aren't) from @CreativeUnited
drawn from *qual data* (hurrah!) - https://creativeunited.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mind-the-Understanding-Gap-The-Value-of-Creative-Freelancers.pdf aligning with advocacy elewhere for #ethical #grassroots #localised policymaking https://www.creativeunited.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Mind-the-Understanding-Gap-The-Value-of-Creative-Freelancers.pdf

#Rationing #CookingOil #UK

If #Ukraine can't supply cooking oil &/or cereals, world must find new supplies. Meanwhile, expect rationing & high prices.

#Food shortages will probably increase use of pesticides, GM crops, & conversion of wild areas to farm land. Ukraine war may increase loss of #biodiversity & tip some species into #extinction.

It is another of the #globalised costs of #localised #war.

It makes me loathe #Putin even more than ever.

All this suffering - for what!?!
