New publication! My report in @hepi-news.bsky.social looks at racial equity in UK higher education, and finds that even in TEF Gold institutions there are large awarding gaps and serious underrpresentation of Global Majority staff #HigherEducation #Equity www.hepi.ac.uk/reports/maki...

A2 Anything else is short-termism and false economy. But creating/maintaining/repairing those flourishing conditions takes substantial effort and we've only got a finite amount of effort. Deciding where to put it to greatest effect is a challenge. #LTHEchat

@leefallin.bsky.social FYI I unexpectedly had to prep a workshop today in literally ~5 minutes, and used your A3 piece of paper design thinking workshop with problem statements and solutions. Probably one of the best sessions I've ever run!
It was a joy to bring together a community of plant science educators to write this manifesto now out in @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social - so much potential for plant science education if we come together and address the really key issues. #PlantScience #STEMeducation
I’ve had so many people contacting me sharing their stories of toxic workplace behaviour that has been rewarded rather than punished after writing this - a sad reflection on our sector #academia #Highereducation #HE #universities #WorkplaceCulture katharinehubbard.blog/2026/01/20/t...
Really proud to have written this with @profdamienpage.bsky.social championing the value of teaching staff who are disproportionately hit by cuts, but are what drives the fundamental activity of HE - educating students.#HigherEducation #TeachingAcademics www.timeshighereducation.com/even-hard-ti...
Now that is an ambitious plan; getting senior managers to work together to create shared priorities. ( I speak as a previous PVC)
