Most participants (77.8%) strongly agreed it created a supportive and respectful space for exploring identity, belonging, and equity, and all respondents (100%) rated it as highly relevant to their teaching practice. Confidence in using participatory or object-based approaches increased for many (62.5% strongly agreed; 12.5% agreed), though 22% responded neutrally, suggesting some participants may benefit from additional time and support to apply these methods.                ObservationsParticipants consistently described objects as relational, narrative-driven, and culturally situated, conveying lived experience and identity beyond their appearance. The workshop prompted reflection on positionality, assumptions, and bias, with one participant noting it offered a “nice framework to investigate our own assumptions and prejudice,” and another that it encouraged thinking “through learning about personal standpoint.” Group discussion were valued, with participants appreciating a “safe space for collaboration and collective learning” and hearing diverse perspectives.    Thematic Analysis    Safe, Respectful, and Inclusive SpaceStaff highlighted the workshop’s success in fostering an environment for sensitive identity-related discussions. One participant reflected: “Facilitating safe space to reflect ‘On Belonging’ from a deeply personal point of view/lived experience offered authentic, impactful insight.” Shared agreements, collective reading, and multilingual identity markers (e.g., three keywords in one’s mother tongue) “helped situate participants before engaging in complex conversations.”    Participants valued the structure, and pedagogical framework. One noted, “The workshop also made me more conscious of the significance and presence of different objects,” while another valued that the facilitator “successfully encouraged deep object engagement without the expectation to be verbally responsive.” The postcard and question decks were highlighted as scaffolding tools: “The questions provided really a nice framework to unsurfaced our assumptions and prejudice,” and “The postcard were helpful to think about personal endeavours/critical theory. How do I apply these theories to myself? (Decentering the self, hybridity, etc.).”    Multiple Truths, Intent vs Impact, and Critical ComplexityEngaging with complexity was highlighted as a key outcome: “The idea of multiple truths, as well as the notion of impact and intent,” and “It was very insightful how many different aspects of identit(ies) emerged!”    Relational and Generous ListeningParticipants valued listening without immediate response: “The facilitator successfully encouraged deep, generous, relational listening… without the expectation to be verbally responsive; this was key to contemplate the physicality of the objects.”    Application to teaching: Participants articulated clear ways they planned to apply the workshop approaches within their own practice:     Designing an “object CV” or portfolio documenting an object’s biography and cultural background as part of professional practices to bring it to life and render it *employable*.     Applying methods within Knowledge Exchange work with communities.    Incorporating active listening as a research and facilitation methodology.    Reusing the questioning framework developed in the workshop: “I will try to use this way of questioning objects in my future projects.”     What worked well:     The question deck provided a “nice framework to un-surface our assumptions and prejudice” and linked critical theory to personal reflection.    Reading lists and related categories were helpful.    Time to read prompts individually and collective reading supported engagement.    Shared agreements and printed materials helped settle participants into complex discussions.     Suggestions for refinement and expansion:     Clear time limits for object sharing activity.    More time dedicated to discussing how to navigate difficult or triggering topics.    Language in the card deck perceived as overly academic. Suggested clearer explanations or prompts on the reverse of cards.    Reducing overlap between similar questions (e.g. Questions 3 and 4).    Clearer communication in advance about the workshop format and expectations.    Participants highlighted the complexities of facilitating identity-based discussions, including facilitator emotional labour. One noted that “some responses can be challenging for the facilitator (trauma triggering or feeling judged for a certain family background/privilege), and more time to discuss navigating difficult topics would be valuable.”     References    Gibbs, G. and Coffey, M.

This staff development workshop invites educators to strengthen their equity literacy through object-based learning activities focused on belonging and identity. Grounded in participants lived experiences, the session offers a reflective and participatory space to explore how we can foster authentic and meaningful engagement with students around these themes.    Part 1: Participatory activity.    Participants are invited to bring an object that represents their identity — this might reflect aspects such as culture, language, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, age, class, profession, or personal experiences. It could also connect to memories, geography and place, family, relationships and kinship, generation, or experiences of privilege. Through a story circle technique, they will experience object-based learning (OBL) first-hand, using their objects as catalysts for storytelling and dialogue where curiosity, compassion, and openness are intentionally cultivated to support respectful and, at times, challenging conversations about identity and belonging.    Part 2: Frameworks application and reflection.    Facilitator will introduce the object-based learning framework and pedagogy, guiding participants to explore how this framework can be applied in their own teaching—for example, in group work, icebreakers, interdisciplinary projects, or reflective activities. The session concludes with a guided reflection on integrating these practices into teaching and sharing insights for continued development.    By the end of the session, staff will have:     Experienced an object-based learning process centred on belonging and identity.    Reflected on their own equity literacy and its role in creating inclusive learning environments.    Gained a practical framework for integrating object-based methods into their teaching, adaptable across disciplines and learning contexts.     5 to 10 pp.    2 hours long        PADLET for the workshop:  IMAGES from the workshop:     Examples of objects brought by participants embodying identity and belonging.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://pgcertmonikagravagno.myblog.arts.ac.uk/?p=52" rel="nofollow ugc">On Methods_Blog post #3</a></strong>Data for this Action Research Project will be collected after the staff development workshop through a self-administered post-session questionnaire, forming the evaluation phase of the research cycle. Distributed digitally and completed anonymously, the questionnaire combines quantitative Likert-scale items—measuring participants’ confidence, perceived relevance, and usefulness of the session—with qualitative open-ended questions inviting reflection on learning, impact, and future development needs.    Post-workshop questionnaires are widely recognised in educational research as effective tools for capturing immediate, reflective feedback (Gibbs &amp; Coffey, 2004; Killion, 2015). They help identify shifts in awareness, confidence, and intention to apply new practices—key indicators of early impact in Action Research. Effective questionnaire design depends on clarity and relevance (Peterson, 2000), while piloting improves reliability and language accuracy (Smyth, 2016; Wolf, 2016).    The self-administered format allows participants to respond independently, encouraging honesty and reducing social desirability bias—particularly important when exploring sensitive issues such as identity, equity, and belonging. As noted in SAGE’s Encyclopaedia of Survey Research Methods, this approach enables authentic, reflective feedback without the influence of group dynamics or institutional hierarchy.    Beyond measuring satisfaction, the questionnaire functions as a reflective extension of the workshop, prompting participants to articulate shifts in thinking and identify strategies they may apply in their teaching practice. Responses will be analysed thematically and quantitatively to evaluate the workshop’s immediate impact and highlight areas for refinement.    Findings will inform the next iteration of the workshop, supporting its ongoing development into a CSM-wide staff training offer focused on inclusive, equity-driven pedagogy. This cyclical process ensures that the evaluation directly contributes to both practitioner learning and institutional capacity building.    Below there is a copy of the questionnaire.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://pgcertmonikagravagno.myblog.arts.ac.uk/?p=43" rel="nofollow ugc">Context and Rationale: Data Analysis for ARP_Blog post #1</a></strong>When I began the PG Cert in Jan 2025, I was working as a CSM Climate Justice Curriculum Developer, embedding climate, racial, and social justice into the curriculum. In September 2025, I moved into a new role as Educational Developer. I now work with academic staff to strengthen teaching practices, curriculum design, and learning environments, with a focus on long-term staff development. My role involves creating spaces, tools, and training that help educators embed inclusive, equitable, and innovative pedagogies into their programmes.    In my previous role, I coordinated the Climate Advocates Programme and worked closely with the Jewellery, Textiles and Materials (JTM) programme at CSM. At the January 2025 JTM Programme meeting, staff reflected on how the UAL Climate, Social, and Racial Justice Principles were being embedded into courses. While Principles 1–3 were present to some extent, Principle 4 – Design for human equity, social and racial justice (see image below) – was identified as the least embedded. Staff expressed uncertainty about how to approach these themes, citing a lack of shared vocabulary and confidence in facilitating conversations around equity, social and racial justice.     UAL Climate, Racial and Social Justice PrinciplesDownload    To explore this further, I collaborated with Climate Advocate Hannah Ogahara and Social Purpose Evidence and Evaluation Manager Rose Thompson to co-design a peer-to-peer interview process centring student voice. We sought to understand how students perceived the presence (or absence) of Principle 4 in their learning and how they envisioned more equitable, inclusive teaching practices.    Ten student representatives from across five JTM courses participated in semi-structured interviews, conducted both in person and online in March 2025. These conversations offered rich insights into how social and racial justice are experienced—or overlooked—within the curriculum.    The findings revealed that while justice-related themes occasionally appear in coursework, they are rarely sustained, assessed, or embedded structurally. Students described a lack of safe, facilitated spaces for honest dialogue, as well as a need for teaching that reflects their lived experiences and cultural contexts. They expressed a clear desire for authentic, participatory learning environments—spaces that combine creative practice, critical reflection, and dialogue around identity and belonging.    These insights directly informed the focus of my ARP, which seeks to develop a staff development training that responds to the gaps and opportunities identified in the case study. The project builds on the themes of equity, identity, and belonging highlighted by students and represents a first development toward embedding Principle 4 more intentionally and consistently within JTM teaching practice.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://pgcertmonikagravagno.myblog.arts.ac.uk/?p=40" rel="nofollow ugc">A Reflection on Faith, Finance, and Inclusion_Blog post #2</a></strong>Reading Ramadan’s (2022) study on Muslim women academics in Western higher education was a moment of deep reflection for me. I was struck by how powerfully Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality plays out in these women’s lives — not just in terms of gender and race, but in how their faith identity is experienced and contested within academic institutions. These women aren’t navigating just one axis of marginalisation; they are often managing a complex, relational web of exclusions, especially when their Islamic identity is visibly expressed. Intersectionality here isn’t about adding up disadvantages — it’s about understanding how systems like racism, Islamophobia, and sexism interlock and reinforce each other.    As someone who works primarily on climate justice and design curriculum, I often focus on how race, class, and disability shape people’s vulnerability to climate crises. I have to admit, I hadn’t previously considered how financial exclusion based on religious beliefs might create barriers to something as fundamental as accessing higher education. Learning about the lack of a Sharia-compliant student finance system in the UK — and the proposed (but still unimplemented) Takaful model — exposed a blind spot in my thinking.    Because Islam prohibits interest-based loans (riba), many Muslim students are faced with impossible choices: take on debt that violates their ethics, forgo higher education, or seek alternative funding without institutional support. This isn’t just a financial issue — it’s a justice issue.    This learning made me pause. While student admissions and finance policy fall outside the scope of my direct role, this insight challenged me to think more broadly. If we are educating for justice, we must remain attuned to the wider institutional structures that shape access. Who gets to be in the room when we talk about justice? Who is silently excluded because of assumptions we’ve never thought to question?    Reading Ramadan’s paper reminded me that a commitment to justice isn&#8217;t only about what we teach — it&#8217;s about being open to what we’ve overlooked. This issue had escaped my attention precisely because I don’t live at that intersection. I’m not Muslim, and my own access to education was never shaped by the need to navigate financial systems that conflicted with my religious or ethical beliefs. That’s a privilege I hold.    This realisation made me reflect more deeply on how my own positionality shapes what I notice, what I prioritise, and even what I consider to be a “justice issue.” Because I didn’t have to ask difficult questions about how to fund my education in a way that aligned with my beliefs, I hadn’t considered how others might be structurally excluded for doing just that. It’s a reminder that the limits of our lived experience can easily become the limits of our understanding — unless we actively choose to listen, learn, and interrogate the assumptions we carry from positions of comfort.

									<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="https://pgcertmonikagravagno.myblog.arts.ac.uk/?p=37" rel="nofollow ugc">Disability and Climate Justice: Teaching Intersectionality in Design_Blog post #1</a></strong>My reflection spans from my role within UAL and my teaching context as a curriculum developer for climate, racial and social justice. Much of my work involves teaching intersectionality frameworks to art and design students, often through practical examples that connect theory to real-world design interventions.    In this blog, I focus specifically on the intersection of disability and climate justice. I reflect on how I address this in the classroom and the ways I encourage students to connect these issues to their own design practices. Rather than viewing intersectionality as a combination of fixed identity categories, I frame it as an interaction between disability and structural climate injustices, resulting in specific forms of marginalisation.    This perspective is central to how I teach climate justice, particularly in disciplines like Graphic Design, Communication Design, Service Design, and Industrial Design. I use lived experiences of disabled people during climate crises to ground our discussions in real-world contexts. These stories serve as case studies on how design systems often fail by not accommodating the diverse needs of all users. For example, when individuals are left without accessible evacuation options, lose access to critical medical infrastructure, or are excluded from emergency communications, the issue is not hypothetical — it is a systemic design failure.    To bring these issues into focus, I draw on references such as podcasts, interviews, and testimonies that document the lived experiences of disabled people during climate crises. (References included below). These resources allow students to hear directly from individuals most affected by climate injustice, anchoring abstract theory in personal, lived experience.    Examples of contextualisation on intersectionality into the core of creative and systems-thinking design practices:     In service and communication design, for example, I ask students to pay attention on the lived experiences of disable people during climate emergency and draw attention to the failures of mainstream emergency communications and infrastructure during climate disasters (Just Security Podcast, 2025) It allows me to ask students: Who are we designing for? Who gets left out of our user personas, our outreach strategies, our contingency systems? The real-world example of a two-week power outage disproportionately affecting disabled and elderly residents becomes a rich case study for rethinking inclusive emergency planning, accessible information systems, and mutual aid networks as critical design interventions.    In industrial and product design, I ask students to think of the tools, technologies, and physical systems that could mitigate — or compound — vulnerability in climate crises. I often use the example of Ghenis’ comments (Disability Rap, 2022), on the need for accessible infrastructure and inclusive planning provide a framework to challenge students to design beyond normative assumptions of ability, mobility, and self-sufficiency. For instance, we can critically explore how medical devices dependent on electricity, or inaccessible transport systems, become life-threatening in the face of climate disruption. This creates space for design briefs that centre disabled people as primary stakeholders, not as an afterthought.     In communication design, I raise questions around accessible messaging during crises: Who receives warnings, and how? What languages, technologies, and formats are considered “standard” or “efficient,” and who is excluded by those norms? (Black Earth Podcast, 2023)     Through this teaching approach, I challenge students to design systems of care and preparedness that include disabled individuals as central participants, not as afterthoughts. I demonstrate that climate justice cannot be separated from disability justice and that design carries responsibility for addressing the unequal distribution of both risk and resilience. Whether through speculative projects, workshops, or mapping exercises, I support students in interrogating design’s complicity in exclusion and its potential to foster solidarity and structural change. This allows me to scaffold a pedagogy rooted in care and accountability—one that identifies intersecting oppressions and equips students to design differently. (DICARP, n.d.)    Additionally, I encourage students to move beyond additive identity models (e.g., disabled + poor or racialised) and consider how climate injustice and disablement co-produce one another. Crises often generate new forms of disablement, while disabling environments are built into emergency planning systems. This shift is critical for design students, who are often taught to &#8220;solve problems&#8221; without questioning who defines the problem—or who is most impacted by its framing. (SoCal 350, 2021)    Ultimately, this approach grounds intersectionality in lived experience and design systems. It enables students to move from abstract commitments to justice toward tangible, reflective, and responsible practices. These case studies, shared through real stories, interviews, and audio testimonies, aren’t just about climate impact—they are catalysts for critical imagination and a call to reorient design toward care, access, and equity.
