This month's issue of #CareerMatters features an excellent article on a vital yet understated topic - chronic illness and it's impact on career development. I read it with a lump in my throat. Excited for further research by @PollyCareers #careerguidanceforsocialjustice

Presenting my poster - Space, race and place: how racism affects career trajectories of racialised minority PhDs and ECRs at the #LboroDCShowcase! The poster with the most LIKES WINS! So please get liking and sharing!!

What are we here for? Careers guidance should be seen as part of the wider teaching and learning ecosystem rather than just 'helping students get a job'. Dr Doug Cole #AGCASAC23

“I don’t bring my neurodivergence into the workplace, because Black and ethnic-minority people are often judged as not having the same level of competence as their white counterparts... it’s for fear of having anything further weaponised against me”. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

Having a fab day assisting with Year 10 Careers Fair in Sherburn. These events are vital in helping young people connect curriculum learning to the world of work #careersfair #careerdevelopment #employerengagement #apprenticeships #localjobs

Let's be clear. Those "low value" degrees are all the degrees were you learn how power works. How knowledge is made. Where hierarchies and ideologies come from. And why all of that is considered "low value" and by whom.

Had the delight of interviewing the remarkable Jason Arday earlier this week for the The Guardian's Black Lives series — we spoke about how his appointment at Cambridge as the youngest Black professor has been a “baptism of fire”, neurodivergence & much more theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

In I Heard What You Said I wrote a chapter called ‘Jeffrey’s Nice’ about the politics of approachability and vulnerability of black masculinity in the white gaze. This video ⬇️ is clickbait, but it tells a simple truth about covert / overt racism. I struggled to watch it all.

Loved supporting and celebrating GCSE results day at Crofton Academy today! 🤗😊😊😊

Giving a Racial Capitalism 101 online workshop tonight at 6:30pm, if that’s your bag eventbrite.co.uk/e/aye-right-wh…

This morning spent listening to insight on the value of a degree and how students - WP especially - need to be supported through school, FE, HE and into the labour market. Much to process and share with #WideningAccessDerby. Thanks #NERUPI for hosting these sessions 👏🧑‍🎓

Had a fantastic time at the University of Leeds Teachers and Advisors’ Conference. Sessions were insightful and delivered with humour and enthusiasm. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't been yet! #Universityofleeds #educationoutreach #CPD

We need to develop careers projects at scales than can address societal problems rather than small interventions which help a few people #NICEC24
