Racism has no place in this world, and it is especially disappointing though when it manifests in education. Places professing to be safe and equitable spaces. It hurts even more when that happens to your family. Be warned, I will call you out and my mission is to ensure it stops.
Delighted that Prof Glazzard & I's article Access & Participation Plans of Universities in England (2020-2024): What do they really say about social mobility? has been accepted by the Journal of Equity in Education & Society Thank you to reviewers & editor. #Education #HigherEducation
I've been discharged and back at home, Rather exhausted & achy having 15 hours of the time in the hospital on awful plastic chairs. Very grateful to all the staff that took care of me, & thanks to friends & family who sent well wishes, & mum with me at LRI #Fahrs #RareDisease
Following on from last night, now more medication prescribed, temporarily it means I'm on 17 tablets a day 😳 However, I'm battling whatever it is I've got. Thank you to all those supporting me 💪 The challenges of living with a #RareDisease #Fahrs

Well a trip to Queen's Medical Centre at 23:00 was not on the cards, but here I am 🤷♂️
I can feel the wave of illness brewing, trying my best to fight it. To modify the words of Gandalf... You shall not win! #FahrsDisease #Parkinsons #RareDisease
