We've had a great time at the inaugural BISA-ISA Workshops. Our workshop: "Al Pedagogies: Practice, Prompts and Problems in Contemporary Higher Education" had some brilliant discussions and fascinating papers! @mybisa.bsky.social
Great to be in Newcastle for the first day of the #BISAISA2025 conference. I'm convening the "AI Pedagogies: Practice, Prompts and Problems in Contemporary Higher Education" workshop with the brilliant Hillary Briffa. Can't wait to meet everyone! @mybisa.bsky.social
I was able to share some thoughts on the #TrumpEpsteinFiles revelations about the "Birthday Book" with the @ipaper.bsky.social looking at how Trump may respond and what this means more broadly in US politics
Great to see so many colleagues and friends at the @aspirenetwork.bsky.social online launch event today! Some great ideas shared and really exciting opportunities, if you're not a member already, Sign Up!
Great news for the @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on the Festival. I was lucky enough to be invited to speak on a panel last June, and it was a brilliant experience!
Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and apparent willingness to get even more involved in the Middle East has started a split in the MAGA-verse. Here's my take on why this is emerging and what it means #Trump#Iran #IranlsraelConflict
And this was followed by the brilliant @teachpolitics.bsky.social giving us a history of teaching politics in the UK, using this to inspire all of us as we look forward to teaching in the future
We had a brilliant #aspirelaunch today, Teaching track academics from across the UK came together to discuss how we can work together and innovate in this space We began with a roundtable with the @aspirenetwork.bsky.social board, sharing our vision and the motivation behind the network
It was great to speak to the @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social about the Trump administration's use of disinformation and the impact this has on American demand, political opposition, and the wider world
TODAY! Are the deep splits in society being created and maintained by disinformation? What can be done to rein in big tech? Our expert speakers discuss if democracy can survive in these circumstances.
Disinformation, Polarisation & the Future of Democracy

Great to speak to @france24.com about #Trump and #Meloni meeting to discuss the #TrumpTariffs#Meloni has taken role of EU-US bridge, and #Trump admin seems receptive, but looks unlikely it will result in anything. She did avoid potential pitfall on Russia Ukraine
