Whilst #BlackHistoryMonth is a good thing we need to move towards including it as part of the whole curriculum and taught all the time rather than just in one month, both in schools and higher education - otherwise it will remain tokenistic #equity #SocialJustice #race

Anyone found a technique that works to switch to daytime productivity? I feel as though I’m just wasting my time a lot @AcademicChatter

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

Anyone else work all day, feel as though nothing gets done. Then BOOM. 6pmand your brain is like, ok ready to focus?

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

But I’m feeling as though I’m way less productive in the day. I get distracted, can’t focus, etc

First @skillfluence session this afternoon. Looking forward to thinking through #career options

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

@bennopt @borderology @AcademicChatter Woah what programme is that !

[Prof Kalwant Bhopal @KalwantBhopal]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Sociology should be a compulsory subject. The next time someone says it's a useless subject, remind them that it teaches you to question, interrogate, criticise, analyse and challenge everything! #evidence #analysis

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

@michielvaningen @AcademicChatter Oooo now this one looks like it could be really useful. Thanks so much! Let me know how you get on with the other one :)

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

Anyone have any articles/sources that describe how #criticalrealists conduct literature reviews? #criticalrealism #criticalrealist @AcademicChatter

[Naz Biggs @Nazbitbybit]

@SophiaTassew @mjclarke__ NO WAY. This is part of my childhood. I’ve had many weekends dragging my Nan’s shopping trolly through that centre ❤️
