I often find “going away” to workshops and conferences hard work socially, but the recent #ESRC funded RE:PLAY workshop for learning designers was great. Investigating #playfullearning in Higher Education. In this case, developing a design process and resources for educators.

Sutton Trust article on social class and “top jobs”. As the Guardian article says, class often left out of EDI conversations. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
