#BrightProf19 Excited to shortly be introducing Mindsets in a keynote at the Professional Services Conference University of Brighton Changing Mindsets

First keynote: Catherine McConnell joins us to discuss the power of having a growth mindset in learning and development. #BrightProf19

🍉 Sara Camacho Felix 🍉 talking about higher education, the experiences and attainment gaps of BME students in their own words. ‘They want me to be white...but I can’t!’

If you couldnt attend my talk yesterday on increasing diversity in Clinical Psychology (#DiversifyClinPsy) I'll try summarize it in 8 Tweets (it was quite long!) 1/8: People from BME backgrounds have been under-represented in CP training for years but NOT because they dont apply!

6/8: We know that academic attainment at both school & undergraduate level is significantly associated with ethnic background, therefore any over-reliance on academic attainment in the short-listing process disproportionately affects BME applicants.

In two weeks, my contract ends at University of Portsmouth after three great years at UoP EDSOC including leading Changing Mindsets with PI Professor Sherria Hoskins

So happy #GEAConf2019 is being held in my hometown of Portsmouth. All ready for the pre-conf day symposia. Giving a workshop with Follow @jessgagnon on bluesky & on the ECR panel. If any delegates throughout the week need any advice on the city, a lift or anything give me a shout Gender & Education Association (GEA)

British public perceptions vs reality - fascinating data presented by Follow @jessgagnon on bluesky highlighting the need to challenge unintentional bias #GEAconf2019

UK's whiter than white universities: "Data shows that out of 17,880 professors only 85 were black, 950 were Asian, 365 were “other” (including mixed race). There are just 17 black female professors in the entire British university system." Katy Sian theconversation.com/extent-of-inst…

Tomorrow the Changing Mindsets comes to an end but our work on tackling the attainment gap is not over! Dream team 😍

I have really enjoyed working on the Changing Mindsets project with some great people. I have learnt a lot and we have had some fun along the way. So glad I got to join for the final day of the GEA conference 2019 #GEAConf2019 Gender & Education Association (GEA)

A growth mindset is always the way forward! Congrats :)

What's impt to know is that ethnic min students are less likely to get a good degree *even when* you take account of their prior attainment, age & gender. Many reasons but BME academic role models matter too. bbc.co.uk/news/education…
