My promotion to Reader was confirmed in December 2025

All the best for the festive season, and may 2026 be a year of more compassion, solidarity and less suffering in the world

What We Miss When We Talk About the Racial Wealth Gap Six decades of civil-rights efforts haven’t budged it, and the usual prescriptions—including reparations—offer no lasting solutions. Have we been focussing on the wrong things?

The best pope that the world has ever had has died, on Easter Monday. Nothing more symbolic than that. I fear that now they will chose the most fascist, conservative and anti-immigrant pope there, in accordance to where the US is (and UK not far either..)

2024 was a difficult year for many people, with the world in a terrible place amid massive suffering, wars, conflict, racism. 2025 proves to be equally challenging, but many of us will not abandon the fight for a more just world. May 2025 bring peace, compassion, and better days.
