Each Sunday we will spotlight an area of research recently published in JVET and open the conversation to you.

This week we ask what can the overlooked experiences of women in the British coal industry teach us about the social and cultural impact of vocational education?

Wolf was angry, as angry and scared as he'd ever been. The moment he woke up, he stormed downstairs & picked a row with Old Fox, then with Babcia. He dropped his porridge & honey on the floor with trembling paws & raged for another one. Here we are, said Old Fox, ladling fresh porridge into a new bowl, and setting it down gently in front of the now crying Wolf, here we are, my love, here we are.

But it's not just me, it's not just me, said the Weasel to Old Fox. It was late, and they were sitting at the kitchen table. My neighbours, next door, a Snowshoe Hare, his wife just died from cancer. He worshipped her and now this. And across the road, an old gentlemen, on his own, put everything into his garden - it was so beautiful - drifts of blossom in the spring like a dream. Oh, oh! Old Fox, what are we supposed to do! What are we supposed to do? Images are of a distraught weasel and a wildfire, a tree burning in a blazing landscape.

Five-and-twenty to four. A train creaked into the Halt. One passenger slowly alighted, a small weasel, singed ears, burnt paws bandaged, fur still white with ash. Old Fox was there to meet him, taking his single battered suitcase, helping with the step. My home, said the Weasel, my home.
A weasel with white and brown markings looks into the camera, bereft. An image of a Californian wildfire. Wildfire ravages a neighborhood amid high winds in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)

Finishing off 1st draft of my analysis of some of the FE teacher educators’ responses to our survey. Sending it to Kevin Orr for his comments tomorrow (& he’s sending me what he’s done). Then we’ll be inviting feedback from our colleagues Kate Lavender &
