Thread from @corinne_fowler on media framing of slavery report, the production of a polarised debate, and a wilful misunderstanding of research
1. Thread: Nottingham university slavery report. Times article below demonstrates why we have impoverished debates about UK slavery history. Like the coverage of the @nationaltrust report, this article actively discourages serious engagement with research findings.

I often tweet quotes from guests on @TimesRadio both male and female. It blows my mind that remarks from women always draw sexist and misogynistic comments about intelligence, weight and relationship status no matter the subject. Posting because just accepting this feels grim.

Great conversations had at our book launch yesterday, and first time face-to-face meeting some people I have known and admired digitally for a long time!
How can we move from #BusinessAsUsual to taking the best of the old ways but moving on from the grip of the status quo?
