'Underrepresentation, lack of fit, imposter syndrome, being caught between two worlds, a sizeable class pay gap, even self-elimination from the discipline. Working-class origins affect not just getting in but also getting on.' cucdedi.wordpress.com/2021/0…

One year in to the pandemic, and we know that all our HE colleagues are exhausted. Workload struggles and imbalances have only been exacerbated and burnout is real. We want to hear the strategies that you use that help - even if only a little bit - on a day-to-day basis... (1/2)

What makes a difference to you that might help a struggling colleague? Tips for managing email or snagging a bit of research time? Ways of prioritising or getting better at saying no? Hacks and workarounds to make your working day run a bit more smoothly? (2/3)

We know there's no magic bullet but do share your thoughts here, and we'll gather them together for our blog. (Full disclosure: limiting social media use is *also* a legitimate response!)

Looking back at 2020's online teaching challenges. Lecturers adapted, experimented & found new ways to actively engage students.They should be rewarded, not cut back on! Online teaching is not about a video that can be re-played on and on: it requires creative strategic thinking.

Trying desperately to learn Hebrew & failing with Pratico-Van Pelt. Will I get further with Lily Kahn? As Languages Coordinator I'm trying to ensure a working knowledge of as many of the 6 languages we offer as possible. Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Pali, Arabic. Advice?
