A really thought-provoking session to kick off our January series! I am not actively undertaking ‘research’ within UAL… or am I? The workshop was a good reminder of the degree to which our mindfulness of e.g. staff colleagues and our relationships may influence or hinder how we respond to difficult information that may come up in terms of how best to deliver our courses to students, and the need to keep an ‘independent’ outlook to navigate the course.
