I am genuinely baffled and distressed as to why the UK government is intent on destroying UK's genuinely world-leading universities, who bring £265 billion into the economy and support more than 250,000 jobs. This tax will kill us. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

My latest chapter: Embracing compassion and self-care: Educator wellbeing amidst the chaos is now available (FREE! Part of the edited book, Stories of Hope: Reimagining Education). #Wellbeing #HigherEd #HigherEducation #LTHEchat #loveLD #UKHE www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.116...

This chapter is a call for self-understanding and hope, beginning
with the individual. It explores how Higher Education
professionals can apply self-compassion—through self-kindness,
recognition of shared humanity, and mindfulness—to support
their own wellbeing amid the growing pressures of teaching,
administration, and research. As lecturers, tutors, and teachers
face increasing burnout, overwork, and underpayment, selfcompassion offers a practical framework for academic self-care,
helping educators to hold themselves with gentleness rather than
harsh self-judgment. The chapter also argues that the principles
of self-compassion must extend to colleagues, fostering a more
supportive and humane academic culture.

A1 #LTHEchat, a lot depends on the what. Between about 2009 &2015, I had students creating rubrics, then using them for self/peer assessment. Every year, the most common comment was along the lines of “never realised how hard it is & Why didn’t we do this in year 1?
