@S_BradleySmith Rockademic!!!

So wonderful to talk at the #AISNSWPathways forum about post-secondary opportunities and alternate entry pathways into higher education. Shout out to Professor Peter Shergold for an informative and entertaining presentation on the future of the ATAR. So fabulous :)

@HamiltonEmmaL @kiaaustralia That’s disgusting and degrading and at odds with the “modern family” values that Kia are currently advertising for their brand. I hope they’re listening, Emma.

Big thank you to Nova for sharing my article. Success in HE is fluid and dynamic, and far beyond being simply ‘job-ready’

There is so much that is wrong with this that I don’t know where to start!! I am saddened that she is clearly so indoctrinated that even after she was interrupted with his mansplaining, she described this clearly toxic culture as supportive for woman 🤯

Scott Morrison interrupted Social Services Minister Anne Ruston as she answered a question in a news conference about the workplace culture of parliament for women.

I love this project! Share this with your kids, everyone 😍

Very proud of this project @Uni_Newcastle @HunterWater and community collaboration

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

Such an honor today to hear our incredible Newstep/ Open Foundation students explain to Anthony Albanese MP, Emma McBride MP and Senator Deborah O’Neill about the positive impacts of enabling programs. So proud to be part of this program. We have to fight to keep it free for all!

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

I was the first person in my family to finish school let alone go to university. I know the difference education can make to someone's life – and these students at @Uni_Newcastle know it too.

You've heard it all before, but The Conversation wanted me to say it one last time. The contradictions of Job-ready Graduates. https://t.co/6RROaPT8ya

😡

[Andrew Norton @andrewjnorton]

Bad news for Australian higher ed. Job-ready Graduates set to pass. https://t.co/mLj0VVsLDW

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

Yesss!!!! 👏🏻

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

@erinannmcc Needless to say I called security before going back in today. And I may have leered around every corner before entering each room lol

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

@S_BradleySmith @Uni_Newcastle Hahahahaha!!!

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

Some local @Uni_Newcastle Ourimbah wildlife came in to express interest in our maths lecturer’s office today. Dr Allen’s response? “Well maybe he needs help with his maths. He’s clearly not an adder” 🤦‍♀️

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

@HamiltonEmmaL @KiftSally @NLCrawfordTas @Uni_Newcastle @DanTehanWannon @NCSEHE @01naeea @LTU_CHEEDR @UON_CEEHE @ATNUnis @RegUniNet Not alone at all, Emma. This question of “replacement” has raised many eyebrows around the office :/

[Peter Bentley @DrPeterBentley]

The @NTEUNational submission to Senate Inquiry puts a headcount figure on #highered casuals at ~100,000. I think this is about right. The 2018 data is wrong due to the UQ data error for permanent staff. This error is going to be an annoying pimple on the HE staff data for years.

[Andrew Norton @andrewjnorton]

Enabling courses are being hit from several directions at once. Some unis may have to stop offering them. https://t.co/0z9WaZrTtV

[Sally Kift @KiftSally]

@Uni_Newcastle VC Alex Zelinsky explains to Senate Committee importance of #OzHE Enabling places for #Equity Students. Says he has @DanTehanWannon commitment that Enabling will be continued until properly replaced @NCSEHE @01naeea @LTU_CHEEDR @UON_CEEHE @ATNUnis @RegUniNet

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

@ProfMaxLintern It’s not so much a visual metaphor but you know those escape room adventures? That’s my PhD metaphor. You have an objective, there’s a time pressure, it’s scary but exhilarating, but mostly lots of different kinds of problem solving to get you the next step closer to emerging :)

[Kristen Allen @k__allen]

@maddi_pow @GabiLipan @APHFAberdeen Hmm great question. I feel that graduate attributes are giving status to certain outcomes over others and suggesting that some are more valuable. However in my line of research I’m really interested in how limited treatments of student success and graduate attributes intersect
