I really enjoyed facilitating the 'Mapping the Wave' creative research methods workshop yesterday at the University of Sheffield. PGRs and ECRs from different disciplines explored this method and thought about how they might use it in their own work. Thanks to the PRN for hosting me.

Another logo. This time it's for a Community of Practice for 'SEND' educators involved in 'student voice', and who want to co-develop student-led approaches - be that running accessible 'students as researchers' initiatives or simply supporting students to initiate conversations with each other.
A yellow spiral on a purple background with hands reaching into the middle. Each hand has a word: confidence, autonomy, capability, agency and leadership. The heading reads: Student-led approaches. Community of Practice.

Playing with logo designs tonight on Canva - and then PowerPoint (as Canva didn't want to do small case for some reason)... I quite like this one. It's to 'stamp' onto resources I'm making.

Well, a shift has happened. Blue sky is a bit nice... Actually, Blue Skies was the name of my 1st band. So, here's one of my songs: Shift Happens (live). I thought of being other aspects of Helen Evans to this platform 🤠Listen to 02 - Shift Happens by I am Sam on #SoundCloud

02 - Shift Happens
Inspired by a room where guests were encouraged to write/draw on the walls, and a night spent reading the messages and wondering about their authors.

Always good to have an automatic reminder to use Alt Text. Great feature!

There is a setting you can turn on that *will* require it when you post an image! It's located in Accessibility Settings.
A screenshot showing Bluesky's new post screen. There is a warning at the top that says "One or more images is missing alt text." The post button is greyed out and unclickable.

I'm currently on an ESRC-funded Academic Placement at The University of Sheffield under the temporary supervision of Prof Dan Goodley and Dr. Lauren White. Amongst other things, I have been creating resources on accessible research practice. Each week, my hotel room has a different feature wall. 👍🤩👍
