Psychologist/Educator at the UofExeter - cognition - immersive (XR) education - perceptual differences and executive function in neurodiversity - AI - HCI - robotics! Also - art, books and cats!
at ALT/Jisc event today. The last time I was in Birkbeck was in 2010, when I decided to retrain as a psychologist and took evening classes here. It was also a turmolous time when student riots were taking place. Birkbeck will be a special place as incubator of my academic dreams ❤️

Continuing my exploration of identity!

"Seeing others embrace a life that doesn’t revolve around romantic relationships helps me to accept and even celebrate my own choices."

just gave my personal website a much-needed refresh: www.sarune.info. It’s a space for my work, thoughts, and the occasional daydream. Take a look if you’re curious about immersive tech, neurodiversity, or the inner life of an overthinking academic 🌿

Highly recommend this read to anyone working on workplace culture, equity, or simply wondering why things feel "off" even when everything looks fine on paper.

Decolonising of the curriculum is not my area of research, but it is a huge point for higher education sector so I am very happy that I can attend this conference today in Exeter. Learning a lot!

"What looks like discipline is often desperation. It’s not always about being clean or precise; it’s about calming the internal storm, scratching that invisible itch."

We hear a lot of buzz about “interdisciplinary work” these days. But how can we truly be interdisciplinary when we discourage curiosity beyond the boundaries of a single field? When we view people with wide-ranging interests as unfocused, or worse, unserious?

It’s a quiet kind of exclusion. As if we are welcome—as long as we don’t speak too loudly, or at all. Many choose to stay quiet, to blend in.

after lovely session by @juliehulme-psyc.bsky.social this morning at our department, I totally embraced my identity now as a cat loving E&S academic passionate about immersive education and inclusion, with a sprinkle of Lithuanian flair 😅

Waiting for online practicals to start and asking students to share their favourite songs. I added the one I've been hooked on recently, too. Thanks, Lady Gaga, for being the queen that you are 😅🥰
