So interesting to hear how Sweden is trying to enhance partnerships that focus on practice-based research in schools. Looking forward to more collaboration and the opportunity for comparative study 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇸🇪

#CenTCS Joint Director, @profaileenk.bsky.social, enjoyed a warm Swedish welcome when she presented at the Swedish Educational Research Association conference this week. The conference theme was 'Collaboration, Partnership, and Practice-Based Research in Education' - much to learn from each other!

Alison has been a formidable colleague in Glasgow, and a true ally in every sense of the word, raising her voice when others don't ✊🏼 Recognised this year at the @s4mee.bsky.social awards too, she'll be a huge loss to the @uofgheadship.bsky.social. #SLS will be in good hands.

Congratulations 💐🎉👏🏼👏🏼
