This week we will feature @hopkinsdavid.bsky.social exploring Redundancy, Resilience, and Finding What’s Next #LTHEchat
LTHEchat 349: Redundancy, Resilience, and Finding What’s Next
There’s no nice way to talk about redundancy. It doesn’t arrive as a single moment, even when there is a single date attached to it. It arrives in phases: uncertainty, waiting, the conversation itself, the aftermath. For some, it’s sudden. For others, it’s drawn out and quietly exhausting. Either way, it has a way of cutting through confidence, identity, and momentum, particularly in a sector many of us entered because we believed in it.

A Shift in Perception: Exploring Stereovision Recovery
Our ability to perceive the three-dimensional world can be lost without notice, yet cases like Stereo Sue reveal that even in adulthood, hidden perceptual worlds can be unlocked.

at ALT/Jisc event today. The last time I was in Birkbeck was in 2010, when I decided to retrain as a psychologist and took evening classes here. It was also a turmolous time when student riots were taking place. Birkbeck will be a special place as incubator of my academic dreams ❤️

just gave my personal website a much-needed refresh: www.sarune.info. It’s a space for my work, thoughts, and the occasional daydream. Take a look if you’re curious about immersive tech, neurodiversity, or the inner life of an overthinking academic 🌿 #NewWebsite #DigitalIdentity #AcademicLife

Highly recommend this read to anyone working on workplace culture, equity, or simply wondering why things feel "off" even when everything looks fine on paper.
Decolonising of the curriculum is not my area of research, but it is a huge point for higher education sector so I am very happy that I can attend this conference today in Exeter. Learning a lot!
"What looks like discipline is often desperation. It’s not always about being clean or precise; it’s about calming the internal storm, scratching that invisible itch." drsarune.substack.com/p/the-itch-y...
We hear a lot of buzz about “interdisciplinary work” these days. But how can we truly be interdisciplinary when we discourage curiosity beyond the boundaries of a single field? When we view people with wide-ranging interests as unfocused, or worse, unserious? drsarune.substack.com/p/rediscover...
It’s a quiet kind of exclusion. As if we are welcome—as long as we don’t speak too loudly, or at all. Many choose to stay quiet, to blend in. drsarune.substack.com
