Can teaching assistants help us build inclusive classrooms? Well yes! They not only consider it part of their role, but also feel confident about their abilities to do so. Short 🧵 about our new paper on work done with Siara Isaac & Helena Kovax at EPFL. doi.org/10.1080/0304...

We are working to make #SEFI2024 inclusive and sustainable. We know that financial barriers can be especially high for students, early career researchers, and caregivers. And so we are offering scholarships and free childcare! Apply soon! More info: buff.ly/4a3xsNQ

Check out this really colourful paper in which we explore teaching assistants’ perspectives on building inclusive classrooms, and find that they are already think of and prioritise inclusive practices, and can be powerful forces in #IncreasingInclusivity. doi.org/10.21427/Z01...

Hiding easter eggs in academic literature is so much fun. Especially when they help you win a war that has been going on since 2015. Do you concede Christopher Warneke? PS: if you are interested what the paper is about - doi.org/10.1187/cbe.21
