Next stop was Leeds to take part in the What's Class Go To Do With It? symposium hosted by our friends at @whatsontvclass.bsky.social. Thank you team What's on TV for such a stimulating and thought-provoking day!

Really looking forward to giving the opening keynote on class in the UK TV industry at this symposium in Leeds tomorrow. Highlights to come for those who can’t make it. Those who can - do say hello!

This fully booked day brings together researchers, industry voices, and policymakers to explore how class shapes UK television, from who gets to work in the industry, to which stories make it on screen, to how audiences connect with them.

LEO has a role to play in picking winners Earnings and graduate destination data isn't just there for league tables. David Kernohan demonstrates how LEO can help implement that industrial strategy

The dashboards in here, put together by @dkernohan.bsky.social from @wonkhe.bsky.social are a goldmine, and give amazing details on what creative arts grads do 10 years after graduation, and the sorts of subjects being used in creative arts industries wonkhe.com/blogs/leo-ha...
