Thank you for such a profound analysis. I appreciate how you looked in-depth into an angle that’s so expansive. I sometimes struggle with consistency when looking into multiple references, but your post was very clear and well written.

This is such a thoughtful reflection. I was reminded of Decolonising the Mind by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o; while not UK-specific, it offers a compelling lens on how early education systems can reinforce dominant cultural narratives and minoritise others. It might deepen the way we think about language, learning, and power in these con…Read more

Yes, students research and then directly engage with practitioners through investigative interviews. They identify and articulate their own positionality before entering into these conversations. This helps them become more aware of how their identities and biases influence their research…Read more

On a broader scale, I’m conscious of how easily curricula default to dominant perspectives. To counter this, I’ve adopted a practice of co-designing sessions with students, inviting them to propose and lead content related to their lived experiences and epistemologies, fundamentally r…Read more

Your observation about ‘neutral’ ground rules as barriers rather than aids to inclusion hits at the core of the issue.

Like you, I’ve found that examining our own assumptions is an essential first step. It’s surprising how easily academia defaults to a narrow definition of what constitutes valid or ‘rigorous’ knowledge.

I’ve noticed in practice that re-framing reflections on positionality as a wa…Read more

I agree that the gap between theory and practice can feel enormous. One practical strategy I’ve found effective is building choice directly into teaching methods (e.g., multiple options for engaging with content), which reduces the need for tailored interventions…Read more
