I like the way you articulate using Shades of Noir as “a very good self-evaluation tool”. I hadn’t seen it in that way, rather a resource. But it is as much a resource for us staff as for the students.
Your example of the student that didn’t reference a French theorist saddened me to read and highlights the challenges we have as a staff to…Read more

Your blog entry and use of the quote made me reflect further on the ableist culture we live and work in. These attitudes are so deeply engrained in us that we all need a process of un/learning unless. It was inspirational to see you write in such a self reflective way – you mention asking students to push through and then reflect on where this…Read more

I enjoyed reading this Alix as it’s such a different response to my own. I got stuck on how I could bring this into my curriculum and found it hard to look beyond that. Also hearing you describe what Quimbois or Kenbwa beliefs provide for you spiritually and in terms of a rootedness and connection to the Caribbean made me think again on some of…Read more

Your entry and response to the video has helped me crystallise some of my thinking, which is that these terms too often become tied up with policy or form part of it without dealing with the root cause. I, like you, loved how in a short space of time Kwhali cuts the whole unconscious bias work within the HE sector to size. Who in the end is…Read more

I really found it useful to read about your teaching context throughout this blog entry through real life examples. I haven’t had much contact with disability services beyond training. Your first example highlighted the myriad role of an assistant and made me think about having course specific assistants who could understand and be versed in…Read more

It was interesting reading you reflect on PREVENT, your wider reading on this, and how as lecturers we are not in a position to assess a student’s vulnerability or well being in a way that we could ever make such a judgement. You also raised how complex this all is. I also found the questions you posited about British values really useful, which…Read more

Your comment on social environments helping to form a sense of belonging and the sentence : “A simple but effective example a communal area for cohorts to congregate and socialise, within- or outside of an academic context.”, made me think about the role of studios. On the BA in Fine Art this is the space we encourage socialising to take place but…Read more
