Juries are not perfect.

Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.

But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.

They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.

Another excellent blog from #HEPI, focused upon the economic benefits driven by international students within the UK.

#AcademicSky #UKHE #HigherEd #UKbudget25 #UKeconomy #InternationalStudents @hepi-news.bsky.social
The growing economic footprint of international students The economic impact of international students in the UK surged from £31.3 billion in 2018/19 to £41.9 billion by 2021/22. On average, every parliamentary constituency in Britain benefits by £58 million. Some regions rely more heavily than others on this influx of global talent. In Sheffield, for example, international students contribute around £770 million annually to the city’s economy, while across Yorkshire and the Humber, that total exceeds £2.9 billion. In cities such as Leicester, Exeter, Nottingham, and Dundee, universities are among the leading exporters, accounting for up to 15% of total local exports. These figures show how universities serve as economic anchors, especially outside the Southeast. International students contribute through tuition, housing, local spending, and by supporting jobs in retail and hospitality.

I've had a wonderful time attending #HumberResearch2025, the 8th annual research conference from the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. I was looking to make connections around wellbeing through nature connection, and have absolutely met that goal. So many synergies over #health & #education.

Schools in England have become testing sites for AI. I know it's common to say education is now an experimental lab for AI, but in England it's more methodologically true. 3 examples of escalating seriousness and an explanation coming up 🧵

Going to try and get back to being a bit more social. I’ve been hammered by some research deadlines and a book manuscript. It’s pretty much taken the last 6 months. But I see some space and wiggle room now. Finally.

One of my colleagues has published a wonderful book on building number sense with ten-frames. You can grab a copy of it from Amazon: amzn.to/4h0mwVI

Great for both home and the classroom, the book has everything parents & educators need to get started :)

A 10 frame being completed with pasta. Four pieces have been added - and then three more to make seven. Thanks hands make a great manipulative too - and the book encourages it.

My latest chapter: Embracing compassion and self-care: Educator wellbeing amidst the chaos is now available (FREE! Part of the edited book, Stories of Hope: Reimagining Education).

#Wellbeing #HigherEd #HigherEducation #LTHEchat #loveLD #UKHE

www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...
This chapter is a call for self-understanding and hope, beginning with the individual. It explores how Higher Education professionals can apply self-compassion—through self-kindness, recognition of shared humanity, and mindfulness—to support their own wellbeing amid the growing pressures of teaching, administration, and research. As lecturers, tutors, and teachers face increasing burnout, overwork, and underpayment, selfcompassion offers a practical framework for academic self-care, helping educators to hold themselves with gentleness rather than harsh self-judgment. The chapter also argues that the principles of self-compassion must extend to colleagues, fostering a more supportive and humane academic culture.
