Can my students pitch a policy problem in the time it takes to cross half the bridge at West Lake? With no tech, and only what they have in their hearts & heads, they rose to the challenge. it’s good to remember that a great teaching and learning moment can happen anywhere we want it to happen.

The Kindness Fix is out today! 🎈 Please spread the word! This book comes from a place of frustration with the state of our politics and the ways in which we often mistreat those most in need. But we can do things very differently… bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-kindness...

So many thoughts swirling around in my head right now but two are chief amongst them. 1) Pre election punditry is a dead art form. 2) There is a deep and entrenched grievance manifesting in different ways across the world that we are failing to fully understand.

For some years now, many media academics have been convinced the internet and social media do not polarise people. I think they need to ask themselves what, then, is going on. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2018-02...
