Believe that culture & the creative sector is vital to Britain (in so so many ways)? Believe that it’s worth supporting its world-leading creative & HE sectors? I’ve respond to the Government’s plan to cut creative subject funding in HE by 50%: officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/c…

Excited to be joining the talk “Future Visions: Image at its Limits” happening now BelfastPhotoFestival

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.

For #ModWrite I’m trying to lay out some thoughts/foundations in, amongst & between the existing landscape around #marcelduchamp’s Large Glass

Great #greatsouthrun in Portsmouth yesterday with chip time of 1:02:39 Great Run (although if you could organise an easterly wind along the seafront in future, that would be ace! 😉)

Managed to get to the cinema for the first time in ages to watch #Dune I had a Pavlovian desire to eat Fry’s Turkish Delight…something about the imagery?

This #ModWrite is a #modread - specifically Nikola Tesla’s The Problem of Increasing Human Energy of 1900. “…the cheering lights of science and art…and marvels they disclose, and enjoyments they offer, make us measurably forgetful of the gloomy future”

Really happy to have contributed to this issue’s ADCHE journal on block #curriculumdesign responding to shifts in students’ learning & behaviours.

Looking forward to Prof Claire Warden inaugural Professorial lecture (happening now) British Association for Modernist Studies

It’s been many years since I watched #F1 but that race finish reminded me of playing football as a boy, being 10-0 up & then the kid (whose ball it is) subverting all fairness by saying ‘next goal wins’

So many reasons to visit Southampton! Following the in-conversation, we’ll also walk through the New Acquisitions exhibition Southampton City Art and see the artworks in the gallery @FrithStreet Southampton Solent University Solent University Newsroom @southampton2025 southamptoncityartgallery.com/whats-on/new-a…

I recently published research on the context and efficacy of ‘block teaching’ in art & design pedagogy ADCHE journal ingentaconnect.com/contentone/int… & so great & very timely to see Times Higher Education piece ‘Is block teaching the future of university pedagogy?’ timeshighereducation.com/depth/block-te…

Not long to go for my online talk Southampton City Art “Art, Science & Technology: The Discovery of X-Rays and its Culture” - 19:00 on Wed 16 Feb 2022.

The view from the train through Dawlish & Teignmouth never ceases to take my breath away. My thoughts always float up and out from the seat.

So proud ❤️
