A new article on my substack summarising an article on the experience of working-class students transitioning to university in Canada by Wolfgang Lehmann. A really interesting article!

Started Substack as a way to spend my leisure time a bit more productively. Hopefully these posts will be useful to some. Here's a summary of Bruno Latour's The Politics of Explanation: An Alternative

“The worst Labour government is better than the best Tory one!”

Okay, but Jeremy Hunt gave me 16 hours free childcare a week while Rachel Reeves is looking at taking food away from small children.

Boys are behind girls at school and less likely to go to university.

Middle-aged men are less happy, more anxious and less satisfied than women the same age.

Men are less likely to have friends and more likely to be lonely than women. https://t.co/oCzmnTkm5e.

Wrapped up my @SRHE73 2024 today with some great sessions on academic freedom and social justice for/by students! It was a great experience and learned so much - can't wait to do it again next year!

[Michael Malt-Cullen @MaltCullen]

First day at @SRHE73 2024 done. First time presenting the methodology of my work. Lovely to meet so many new colleagues working in HE and looking forward to tomorrow morning's sessions!

[Michael Malt-Cullen @MaltCullen]

Very excited to be attending @SRHE73 2024 for the first time. So many exciting talks and looking forward to presenting my own methodology for my PhD project!

[Michael Malt-Cullen @MaltCullen]

Great first day at #seraconf24. Missed out on paper session on working-class students but got a great response on my presentation with @libby_lucy on theorising an attempt of inclusive assessment! Looking forward to day 2!

@Gavin_F_Brewis As a fellow bald, working-class person, it is bittersweet.

Research shows working class children have less access to the arts 🗣️

Only one day left to contribute to the Curriculum and Assessment Review. It's time to shake up a system which currently squeezes access.

Let's make the arts accessible for all 🎨 https://t.co/3p4lSTCg1p

@ThePhDPlace I started at 29 and am still in the process at 31. I think fostering a good relationship with your supervisor(s), finding a supportive group of friends, and prioritising what you need to do. This last one is important for everyone, especially for me as I became a parent too.

[Michael Malt-Cullen @MaltCullen]

My excellent supervisor showcasing her creative approaches to research. Me and academia in general are better off for having @Lisa_Bradley_ around!

[UofGARC @UofGARC]

Our Spotlight on Research series continues with Lisa Bradley. Lisa’s work focuses on using arts and craft as a tool for self-expression, making the technique accessible and valued by institutions - just as much as the written word.

This week marked #InternationDayOfPlay

@libby_lucy has been working with P5s in schools across Glasgow exploring intergenerational understandings of play, through the medium of a stage play!

Because just like previous generations ‘kids today know how to play!’ #ThePlayPlay

Full rooms here in Glasgow.... for some great talks.
