The image shows a collage of photos of smiling people at a public event. They are either sitting at a table or standing in groups. All are smiling.

A great event. Really happy to be there with other @newcastleuni.bsky.social colleagues from the EDI team and EDI networks.

Elaine is a white woman with blonde hair, sitting and smiling at a table alongside a friend. Behind her is a screen featuring pictures of some of the everyday women of Newcastle being honoured. Text on the screen says International Women's Day 2025.

There are two pictures on the screen. On the left is the cover of a booklet which reads Celebrating the inspirational women of Newcastle. On the right is one page from the book which shows a picture of Elaine wearing a pink cardigan, her name, and some text about her.

Countermapping activity with my students today during a Teach Out which followed the second day of strikes. They mapped their own experiences onto a campus map and, as international students paying huge fees, this is how they view their relationship with our building @newcastleucu.bsky.social

After a 5 year break from conferences, shameless self-promotion, and 'that' site, it's lovely to be here and see so many familiar faces and names.
