New published Registered Report! People are talking a lot about 'psychological literacy' in psychology education, but how do psychology educators actually define this term? Is there agreement? & how is it integrated into practice? with @richharrisleeds.bsky.social ✨📝 psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

Some essential weekend reading from @maddipow.bsky.social, @diervilla.bsky.social and @richharrisleeds.bsky.social - pedagogical research is often unfairly disparaged and false dichotomies prevail (I've been told my work isn't SoTL because it's too "research").

Returning home from a wonderful trip with @maddipow.bsky.social visiting our partners in Indonesia, including a study visit to Universitas Brawijaya and a guest lecture at Universitas Indonesia. I always love the annual trip to Indonesia and return feeling excited for our future collaborations ☀️

Really interesting discussion on impact of #AcademicSky job titles. At my previous institution, head of school refused to call education-focused staff academics - it turns out that the answer to "what's in a name?" is "respect, which is why it is my previous institution.
