Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

LTHEchat 352: How can we empower students to be part of a larger university ‘Learning Community’?
Join us on Bluesky for #LTHEchat on Wednesday 4th February at 8pm GMT with guest Prof Stephen Rutherford to discuss how can we empower students to be part of a larger university ‘Learning Community’? Humans are social animals; we build communities. Universities are themselves built of numerous intersecting communities, each with their own core identities – students, professional services, educators, ‘teaching and research-focused’, ‘teaching and scholarship-focused’, etc (Henkel, 2000).

And it really makes a difference that we appreciate! Being given permission to think and write one day a week feels like a luxury, but it shouldn’t be in a sector that is supposed to be all about original thought!

Q6 good or bad culture? Bypass direct descriptions and look for the analogies people use or the images evoked. I really like Lego serious play, or stickman sketches that people draw when asked about culture. Look for what the underlying narrative themes are. E.g. control or collaboration? #LTHEchat

#LTHEchat A6 Opportunities to share & celebrate student & staff work. I was thinking how much everything is judged, measured, graded and evaluated - but oh so rarely celebrated, showcased and enjoyed. End of term paries in modules w showreels/exhibitions - and more shoutouts for all that staff do

Educators feel a university’s culture when values are consistently reflected in everyday behaviours, decisions, and relationships. It becomes real through respectful interactions, authentic leadership, meaningful work, and a genuine sense of belonging. #LTHEchat

A6 #LTHEchat Spend time in the “in‑between” spaces. Culture shows up most clearly where no one is performing. • Sit in atrium, café, or library & watch how people interact • do students mix across groups or stick to silos • listen to the tone of conversations • how do staff & students share space

A6: Circling back to Q1 - making space for ‘large’ (e.g. national, linguistic aspects of people’s cultures) and, more importantly, ‘small’ cultures, e.g. space for people to bring the more nuanced parts of themselves, incl. recognising disciplinary cultures and ways of being, thinking, etc #LTHEChat
