It really reinforces your point about how positionality and lived experience shape the way we inter…Read more

Connecting such a technical subject to ethics and personal beliefs did not seem like an obvious choice, but how you have explained it with concrete examples made me really understand the issues at hand.

In practice, however, students often leave this decision until much later. They tend to focus initially on the overall silhouette or aesthetic, choosing materials primarily because they “look nice.” What we aim to enc…Read more

Now that I think about it… I just replied to Greg’s comment with an example how I sat down with a student to: “break the assignment into smaller, manageable stages with mini-targets and regular check-ins. Together, we created a simple timeline for research, drafting, editing, and final submission”.

In Year 1, we introduce students to the…Read more

And to answer your question, to me, a bespoke approach to learning simply comes down to adding a bit more of a human touch to the learning process. It means taking the time to really understand a student’s individual challenges and working together with the student to find an approach that helps them s…Read more

It broadens the conversation in an important way, showing how structural conditions shape who can participate. The theme of affordability shines through again in your advocacy for open-source tools.…Read more

Each disability, combined with an individual’s unique set of positionalities, creates circumstances that are highly specific.
