Really interesting post Claudia. I thought your points about data collection being divorced from action and training that positively impacts the student experience were really powerful. I wasn’t familiar with the UCL resource, thanks for sharing it.

This post is really insightful Claudia. I love how you have brought in content from across the unit in your reflections and drew out connections across material.

I particularly like the way you highlighted Shay Brown’s comments about how invisible identities can prevent receiving the support needed, especially when intersecting with something…Read more

Thanks Claudia, I really appreciate your kind comments on this post. The Liberating Structures quote is a new favourite of mine – I hadn’t realised how much I have quoted it since encountering it this spring!

Thanks Jacob, I love your comment about human choices and highlighting the non-neutrality. Some students on a course I support recently gave a presentation where they talked about how they are doing what they can with regards the archiving and classification of material by diasporic artists and they hope future generations will understand that and…Read more

Thanks Berni, I really appreciate your comment (as always!). I think “seeking to understand rather than persuade” might become my new catchphrase as I’ve used it in most of my posts now!

Your point about there rarely being one right answer really resonates with me, I often find myself saying that to students but I vividly remember not wanting…Read more

Thanks so much Jacob. I feel like this task really helps to surface all the similar experiences we are having and highlight the way that it often feels like it’s a unique issue to be solved by one team when actually it’s a systemic issue that could be prevented by better planning and design.

I completely agree with your eloquent summary of…Read more

Thank you for your kind words Berni.

I feel like your comments really highlight something I am becoming more and more aware of: that lots of people are encountering similar problems and thinking of similar solutions but there isn’t the space or time for people to share across teams and departments and colleges so everything ends up fragmented…Read more

Jacob, I love your comments about humility when working through questions that can be difficult and the need to remain open to discussions and accepting that not every debate can (or should) be settled. I think openness to discussion, and training that develops facilitation skills to support discussion, is crucial.

I also found the concept of…Read more

Jacob, I love your five commitments so much. I think it’s brilliant that you are already thinking about how to adapt your practice to make it more accessible and I think your five commitments are excellent – congratulations on creating what feels, to me, like a manageable but significant shift in perspective and practice.

Hi Berni,
This post is fantastic, your fashion experience and expertise really highlights how faith and the intersection of faith with other factors, affects our students on varying scales from day to day but also wider in the expectations of those around them.

Berni, I really like how you have connected this to the immediate situation of how students experience their time and the spaces at UAL and the wider idea of how design education can contribute to challenging and dismantling the barriers that currently exist and disable individuals.
