Just back from my first Graduate Futures Institute Heads of Service conference in my new role as AGCAS Research and Knowledge Director - it was fantastic! So good to meet old friends, to make new contacts and to consider ways to approach the many challenges facing the HE careers sector. #AGCASHOS23

Spent the day at the beautiful ⁦⁦Gladstone's Library⁩ with my favourite study buddy: my daughter Bethany! She was revising for year 12 exams whilst I was wrestling with thematic analysis for my PhD #reflexiveTA #phd

Great to be on the panel speaking about disabled graduates and employment at the #BDFBackToTheFuture conference, particularly appreciated the chance to talk about what employers can do to ensure accessible recruitment processes and workplaces #graduate #Disability

On my way to Lancaster to be part of tomorrow’s ENGAGE Knowledge Exchange, considering how to enhance #neurodivergent #graduates’ access to #employment 👍

Currently at the ENGAGE Knowledge Exchange event at Lancaster University Currently on: the Neurodivergent Voice panel, with excellent contributions from Liverpool John Moores University graduates Michael McManus & Jack Fitzpatrick (on screen), Martine Dawber and brilliantly chaired by @jvincent_tweets

Fantastic day at the House of Lords, first meeting Lord Shinkwin to discuss challenges facing disabled graduates, then attending a celebration for Ambitious about Autism’s Employ Autism project - even better, getting to do all of it with Graduate Futures Institute colleague and friend Mark Allen!

This is really concerning - we clearly need more consideration about the potential bias of AI against autistic people…
