The topic of Palestine is very uncomfortable for a lot of people and I had many doubts whether I should even mention it in this context. I decided to do it, to really show how shallow and monitored/censored inclusivity at UAL is.

I found your blog honest and reflective, especially the part where you acknowledge your own position and use that awareness to do better. Admitting that, despite your efforts to foster an inclusive learning environment, you may still fall short is powerful.

Reflecting on my own post, I realise I may not have expressed my position clearly. I find it absolutely appalling, and sadly a reality, that a racial hierarchy exists, where some people are seen as “better” than others simply because of their race.

I caught myself having an unconscious bias, or what you call the filter through which we see the world. It’s not surprising, and it’s not really an anecdote, but rather something quite sad.

In the second part of your blog, there’s something quite romantic in the way you write: “… we read biblical passages in order to understand medieval painting.”

It took me many years, and books, and endless reflection and quest…Read more

I always find your writing engaging and thought-provoking. Here you write about disability.

You make a good point about the two layers of this issue that you noticed in all the videos. You also mention that the intersectionality of the disability and other speakers’ identities is hinted towards but isn’t addressed directly at. T…Read more
