Join us on Bluesky with guest Bianca Fox (@bianca-f-o-x.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 10th December 2025 at 20:00 GMT It is not uncommon at this time of the year to talk about loneliness. From an increased number of TV commercials encouraging us to remember those who are spending Christmas alone to numerous local events meant to bring people together, it feels like suddenly the entire world is refocusing on loneliness as if this were a feeling only associated with winter or Christmas.

Join us on Bluesky with guest Aimie Brennan (@aimiebrennan.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025 at 20:00 GMT For many educators, research is something we associate with initial teacher education, postgraduate study, or the occasional school-based project that stems from specific policy/reporting requirements. But research shouldn’t end at graduation. In fact, staying curious, reflective, and research-engaged can become one of the most sustaining aspects of a long and fulfilling teaching career.

Join us on Bluesky with guest Nikita-Marie Bridgeman (@nbridgeman.bsky.social) on Wednesday, 26th November 2025 at 20:00 GMT Independent study is a core element of academic courses and often forms a large part of the hours attributed to a module of study. During this time students are expected to take responsibility for their own learning, determining what, when and how to study (Smith, 2016).
