Your insight into the polarisation of public discourse around race, religion, and overlapping intersectional identities – and the assumption within creative education that students automatically share similar cultural or ethical views, stands out. It shows how easily creative spaces can become detached from the real-world barriers that exist o…Read more

Thank you, Clare! You’ve hit on the friction point that I will reflect on in the blog. It is incredibly difficult to prepare students to advocate for workplace adjustments when the majority choose to hide invisible disabilities due to stigma.

This is why I use my own lived experience to scaffold this transition. I have a chronic…Read more

Thank you for this post, Kayleigh. Drawing on Dolmage’s idea of academic normativity and hyper-ability, your reflections on how traditional higher education has an idealised expectation of what a student’s mind and body should look like really resonate with what I see in my own experience. It makes me think about how our students leave the…Read more

Thank you, Oona! That is a very complex question regarding policy.

To be honest, I cannot speak to the legal differences between UAL policy and corporate workplace rights. However, from my perspective as a placement tutor, the main difference lies in the environment itself. While UAL provides a structured, supportive institutional framework…Read more

Thank you, Kayleigh! To clarify my reflection on tokenism, I believe these initiatives become tokenistic when they lack meaningful institutional backing and are not holistically integrated into the student experience.

Widening participation shouldn’t just mean over-recruitment if the actual burden of delivering equitable teaching falls solely…Read more

Thank you Kayleigh! I really appreciate your comment. Offering a ‘living example’ through my own workplace adjustments feels like an honest way to show students that they can advocate for their access needs, both in their placement year and in their future employment.
