Thanks for your kind words Eleanor!

That’s an interesting question you pose, the notion of actions being ‘authentic’. I sense that you are, quite rightly, cynical about the intent behind the workshops. I share this sentiment. After all, why is it taking so long for anyone at executive/higher levels at UAL to ensure that everyone is aware of the…Read more

Thanks for your encouraging post, Romany. I think turning frustration into action is something I will continue to focus on as a driving force. In this unit, I feel I have found a voice for dissent, and once you use it, it becomes addictive!

Hannah, I found your writing to be very good at summarising what you had discovered in Jawad’s report, while you reflected on your teaching practice with honesty and integrity.

Hannah, this sounds like a fascinating proposal. I have lots of questions, which we can open in the group presentations. One for now, is the listening activity going to be based on listening to conversations/speech, or is the ‘score’ a form of music/sound? If the latter, it will be interesting to think about the canons that exist within music, and…Read more

Romany, I enjoyed your considered response to the anti-racism. It is good to be challenged and to reflect on one’s positionally, and the privileges that may come with that. Your post eloquently speaks of vulnerability, of acknowledging positions of power, yet striving to be part of the change, as opposed to being defensive.

Romany, this was a great reflective post. It was really interesting to discover the limitations on your teaching practice, that are placed on you by the strict time constraints of the curriculum, and how through the lens of disability, they reveal ableist bias.

Thanks for your feedback Eleanor, I think I approach the blogs as openly as possible, as I find academic writing can have a tendency to mask vulnerability. I completely empathise about blind spot recognition, I have so many, based on my own privilege, I think it’s one of my main takeaways from this unit so far.
