Hi Rebekah
thank you for this feedback. I have so enjoyed getting in conversation with you during this term. Hopefully we can continue next term.
I do worry about how language is used to detract from on going social issues. We need to move past statements of intent. There is also an issue when people are afraid to be frank about their own…Read more

Thank you for your feedback.

Dear Grace
I like the fact that very early on you mention a reference that highlights the promotion of equality in the Islamic tradition. Obviously, there are many injustices associated with patriarchal structures in the Abrahamic religions, but this has more to do with interpretation and implementation rather than religious tenets. How…Read more

Thank you so much for your generous feedback. UAL operates within the social model of disability, where barriers to access are considered to be more about threats from environmental issues than related to disability per se so study skills tutors are always mindful of what hurdles students may have to jump through while navigating the HE landscape.…Read more

Thank you so much for your comments and the suggestion that I actually provide a critical argument!

Hi Mikolai
thanks for the comments. Religion is definitely a very thorny subject and one that for many years I viewed as a problem contributing to inequality rather than any means to a solution. I still am deeply suspicious of organised religion, the concept of blind faith and people reading from scripture. That said. A paradigm shift is…Read more

Hi Grace
lovely to meet you too and thanks for the tutorial on using the library resources more effectively. Great. Thanks also for your comments.

thanks so much for your feedback. Its very valuable. Its hard to know if you are making any sense in the blogs, given the number of things that you could say and limited word count.

Well worth the wait.

What an interesting read. I don’t know how you manage to pack so much into these short blogs. You start with a reflection on UAL’s antiracism plan and how the bald statistics make you feel anxious rather than reassured. That’s the problem with statistics. It’s often difficult to attribute the intent behind the numbers. Your group’s solut…Read more

Hi Emilia
once again you are very generous with your comments. Religion is an area that I feel really needs some honest discussion. I stopped believing in the church at 14 years (although my mother had different ideas) but it was the dogma and preaching that turned me off, not the moral and compassion based theology. Another problem when…Read more

thanks for being so generous with your feedback. I suppose my job as a study skills tutor means that have experience in planning and structuring written work. That said I’m not also so confident that what I say makes sense. I’m also very opinionated so I have to be mindful to reference what I say or I might be accused of just having a…Read more

Hi Rebekah
thanks so much for the feedback. I really value your input. Re your question about when disability is identified as main focus, that’s basically with all our students. They are referred to us when they have been identified as having a SPLD and could benefit from study skills support. My blog was really reflecting on the fact that…Read more

Your blog is clearly laid out and easy to follow. The separation between theory and practice gives context to how and why you would incorporate intersectionality into your practice.
The key take away for me is the need to move from Intersectionality as a concept to using it as a tool to promote inclusion. Not just as another aspiration in a…Read more
