I enjoyed reading your breakdown of tactics used in the Telegraph video, it helped me to cement why I felt such unease and vexation upon watching it. Before this unit, I often couldn’t pinpoint why something felt prejudiced or exclusionary, so reading resources that break down the roots of systemic racism and the tactics used to preserve dominant…Read more

Hey Sinead, it’s interesting to see you highlight the positionality of both the presenter and the Telegraph. The presentation of the video, down to the title of the video itself, felt biased. I also noted that the views of the two black women who were interviewed and spoke in favour of bias training felt swamped by the conflicting views of the…Read more

Hello Sinead! You highlighted that concept of disabilities being ‘hidden’ was thought provoking for you, I wonder if there are ways to give students the space and opportunity to express their needs and requirements, without needing to disclose their disability.

Since you mentioned that you largely teach online, if a student did decide to dis…Read more

Hi Joe! Your comment regarding the assessment requirements for your brief poses an interesting dilemma; how do you apply reasonable disability adjustments while ensuring that industry skills are taught and improved over the course of the students time in study to adequately prepare them for life post degree?

You mentioned that the resources…Read more
