Marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau, a Nazi Concentration Camp that contributed significantly to the Holocaust. I visited there in the last year to pay my respects. We are all encouraged to visit, to see, to learn, to understand and continue to tell this history.

This week, it was such a pleasure to host a talk with leading curators from our partner organisation Tate Liverpool. Kate Haselden and Carine Harmand came to give a talk to Humanities students. It was extremely interesting and inspiring!

Carter Preston Exhibition now on at the Creative Campus in partnership with Liverpool Cathedral. Great to see my friend Val Jackson from the Cathedral who has devoted much time to this work. Students from key subject groupings can apply for bursaries from the CP Foundation.

Well, the campus is looking rather pretty in the snow! 🥶☺️

Lovely festive brunch and catch up with a world leading preeminent professor and dear friend Prof Sara Houston @sarahouston.bsky.social

“There’s a class ceiling in the creative industries”. Huge barriers for young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds even if they go through higher education. This important report gives stark clarity about specific barriers. A must read for all HEIs in performing arts/creative industries

Looking forward to some balanced, respectful, peaceful, insightful and engaging conversations and debate like it is 2005! Let’s do this (I live in hope)! 🤓
