Quote of the week from @k8lister.bsky.social “[university] staff sat in a lecture hall while an expert on mindfulness explained that the reason we were all so stressed was because we were allowing ourselves to become so.” 1/2

I just chipped in to fund a top secret stunt calling out Elon Musk - and telling him to butt out of UK politics. Will you join me?

I just signed the petition to to demand the Government tax the super rich to rebuild our NHS, schools, and other public services. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...
Tax the super rich to stop cuts to public services
Across the UK, living standards are falling and millions live in poverty, while the cost of living crisis has made affording the basics difficult. Public services we all rely on - our hospitals, schoo...

I'm now also @cpjobling65@social.vivaldi.net (social.vivaldi.net/@cpjobling65) - a Mastadon server. So I have a bolt-hole when BlueSky goes bad.

If you’re posting or reposting about Trump or Musk I’m unfollowing you. It’s not personal. I need to look after my mental health.

Nice to visit #LTHEchat but I don’t think that I’ll be back. Quoting Roger Murtaugh … “I’m too old for this …..”

Q6. What role do students play in uncovering and addressing the Hidden Curriculum, and how can they be empowered in this process? #LTHEchat
February 5, 2025 at 8:50 PM
Program directors - the role that institutions keep on giving responsibility to without power, reward or recognition. It’s a job I encourage my colleagues to say no to. #LTHEchat
I think programme directors are really important here - but so often they are unrewarded admin roles, and its difficult to change what Prof X has always done for years. Leadership is vital #LTHEchat
A5 #LTHEchat tempted to say there's a big role for course leaders/L&T leaders (the sort of thing that I did for 13 years until last year) here: they can set expectations among individual lecturers & tutors about how these things are communicated to students & build some consistency in processes

Q5. How can educators and institutions better support students in navigating the Hidden Curriculum? #LTHEchat

Participating in #LTHEchat makes me feel like a fraud. I’m glad that I’m retiring after nearly 40 years - and I’m sure that my students will be too.

This year (6 months from now actually) I will be retiring from academia. Tertiary education is in serious trouble and I will worry about its future: but I will be glad to have made my escape.
