I am prompted to go and look at the Rhian Garrett paper to explore the reality of the student experience she captures, and re-read Eddo-Lodge’s book with a new perspective.…Read more

I love hearing about your teaching practice – I feel that your students are lucky to have such a thoughtful and caring teacher. I taught a student who also lipread and didn’t sign – she is flourishing ( graduating) and taught me a lot about, as you say, the small changes we could make to maximise her experience. She made conversations…Read more

what a brilliant article – this has really struck home with me as you use UAL data to hold the institution accountable. It has made me want to seek out the provision in its newest building – (LCF at East Bank) as I am ashamed to say I don’t know what room there is there either. After this part of the unit I think for myself that faith…Read more

this is a direct and well informed piece that urgently spells out the need for a more effective action to increase representation, and find ways to reflect the diversity within the whole community- technicians, guest speakers and HPL’s. I will be sure to read Nicola Rollock’s paper after your inspiring post.
