Thank you for this comment Ana, you’re right- grouping students by nationality might be problematic for many reasons. Some of the research I did for the Intervention Report suggested that many international students feel that being surrounded by other international students that speak the same language as them actually a hindrance for their…Read more

Thank you for your thoughts here and in the presentation last week Maria, you’ve given me some really helpful guidance! I think the noticeboard (whether physical or virtual) is a great suggestion and perhaps a low-effort way to keep the conversation running after the tutor-led input has ended. Engagement with this might also provide a way for me…Read more

This was a thought-provoking post Maria, and helped me to see some of the flaws in how we support students with disabilities. While short-term support measures like ISA’s may help individuals within the structure of the course itself, your observations suggest that we may be failing to help students with a disability fully prepare for the industry…Read more

This was an interesting read Elisenda, I particularly enjoyed the framing of bilingual students as having linguistic ‘richness’. It brought to mind Ana’s intervention proposal, and the inherant predjudice in structures of academia that require a particular style of writing, which might be akin to a third language for those that are already writing…Read more

Thank you for this post Elisenda, I have had many similar experiences, and frequently feel responsible for ensuring all voices are heard, while often feeling unsure about how to practically do this. It made me recall a text we read in the first module, ‘Embracing the silence: introverted learning and the online classroom’ by Harris, K (2022).…Read more

Thanks Tim- yes Confucian values and culture are definitely something I am keen to learn more about, especially given the increasingly global student body we now work with. Perhaps it would be valuable to think of it in terms of decolonising (or decentering) approaches to pastoral care and student support?

Thank you for the thoughtful comment Tim. I’ve been thinking more on Elisenda’s comment and how faith might be integrated into the curriculum, which might help to disrupt the ‘normative position’ of secularity within Fine Art that you describe. This reminded me of one of our earlier readings on silencing, where Malcolm (2021) states that ‘a…Read more

Thanks for your comment Elisenda- that’s a good suggestion. Perhaps I can find some suitable artworks that reflect religious ideas to use as reference points in order to allow it to sit within the studio conversation as a first step.

Thanks for the comment Elisenda- I agree with what you’re saying. I think it’s likely that a difficulty in self-avocading extends beyond students working with language barrier and impact all students to some extent, especially those who are perhaps less confident or don’t come from a background of privilidge. In my experience, it can often take a…Read more
