Inclusion Includes Discomfort

Inclusion Includes Discomfort Over the last year, projects I’ve been working on with universities and colleges include a focus on inclusive practice, inclusive curriculum and whole institution approaches to well-being. Although inclusive curriculum was an expectation included in the 2017 DfE publication, ‘Inclusive teaching and learning in higher education as a route to excellence ’ […]

Retrofitting dynamism

Retrofitting dynamism I feel fairly safe in making the generalisation that the pandemic has created a period of swift change for us all. We have had to negotiate so much loss and illness in our families, friends and communities. We have had to adapt overnight to new restrictions, new ways of working, what we are […]

Learning from AUA Consulting

Learning from AUA Consulting In 2019 AUA launched a consulting practice AUA Consulting as a new strand in our range of activities in the HE sector.
