Great end to the week, with a few hours of collaborative writing on our paper about using the Thinking Environment in doctoral supervision. It's almost ready to submit!
A new animation about how to generate a 'Thinking Environment' (inspired by the work of Nancy Kline). Thanks to @newcastleuni.bsky.social Doctoral College for funding this and the superb @stacybias.bsky.social for amazing animation skills. Enjoy ...

Countermapping activity with my students today during a Teach Out which followed the second day of strikes. They mapped their own experiences onto a campus map and, as international students paying huge fees, this is how they view their relationship with our building @newcastleucu.bsky.social

After a 5 year break from conferences, shameless self-promotion, and 'that' site, it's lovely to be here and see so many familiar faces and names.
