Do please join us for this fabulous event next week (Wed 3rd Dec). Prof Jean Murray is such an important champion for teacher educators, and always brings a productively critical eye to the ITE landscape. Plus, light refreshments available beforehand! All welcome 😊

Looking forward to the inaugural International Conference on Education and Life Transition (ICELT) later this week - it’s been a pleasure to work with such a brilliant team to put together a programme which is truly international, featuring presentations from a range of disciplines 🙌 #ICELT2025

Nice to be back on campus, particularly to meet with colleagues for lunch - and @kro-bar.bsky.social’s idea of a mezze platter for one is very much in keeping with my own. 🍽️

What’s that? You’d like an out-of-focus shot of the ice cream I was given at the @uomseed.bsky.social summer social today? I’m your girl!

Great keynote lecture by @markrpriestley.bsky.social at today’s LJMU Teacher Agency conference, problematising conceptualisations of teacher agency. One of those talks that genuinely makes you want to do some reading and thinking on the train home (I’ll probably nap when it comes to it, but still).

Absolutely loving the newly-opened Ellen Wilkinson Commons in our building at @educationuom.bsky.social - lots of areas for communal working and for socialising with colleagues. Not completely sure about the carpets but looking forward to getting my book on that shelf!

Thanks to @kirsty-finn-mcr.bsky.social and team for a really interesting lunchtime webinar outlining the findings of their Young Women’s Working Lives research: ‘Earning while Learning: student employment’ - great project that I’d like to know more about!

What a fantastic event to close the working day - looking at maps in the Map Room (who knew there was a Map Room!) at @manchester.ac.uk. Always fascinating to see different perspectives of the globe, plus I’ll never look at Stockport quite the same way again after seeing this amazing Emotion Map 🗺️

Lovely couple of days at @gladlib.bsky.social with the Teacher Education & Professional Learning RSG - got to work on several exciting projects in beautiful surroundings (and with its own honesty bar) 🙌

Tonight’s TEPL reading group is @iancushing.bsky.social’s chapter on language policing in ITE. As a former teacher of GCSE/A-Level English, I’m particularly interested to think about how deficit models of language (eg word gaps) relate to wider debates around how subjects are taught and assessed.

I’ve never noticed this jaunty drawing on one of the walls at @official-uom.bsky.social before - makes me want to immediately visit all these places (whilst being careful to avoid the giant pigeon on Quay Street, obviously 🐦).

Braved the storm to come along to this fantastic roundtable event on Primary to Secondary transitions at Whitworth Art Gallery @official-uom.bsky.social (although the excellent straight fringe I did this morning lasted approx 15 seconds) 🌬️

Had some vague notion that my first post on here should be something hard hitting, pithy and meaningful, but Vogue has just arrived so I’ve had to immediately turn to the bit where Hugh interviews Renée 💅
