This year, it has been with much relief that… Continue reading When Diversity & Inclusion is a key conference theme, it changes the whole game
Skip your sleep, it is 23:59 – an ALT 2022 presentation follow up
"Skip your sleep, it is 23:59", this is the presentation my collaborator, Dr Jim Turner, and I presented at the recent #altc22.

Becoming an antiracist researcher – an analysis of sphere of influence
In my recent ALT 2021 presentation on "How do I become an anti-racist researcher", my cross-institutional colleagues and I approached racism from a different angle.

This… Continue reading Becoming an antiracist researcher – an analysis of sphere of influence
Alternative assessments for inclusivity
Having worked extensively with less abled students, with either physical or mental health issues, I have learnt, and still learning, to adapt to their needs, and it is the most rewarding and fulfilling experience of not forcing them down institutional systems which preclude their academic and holistic growth.
