The promise of AI in education is it will save educators time. That's rubbish. It's sapping all our time already in working groups, committees, workshops, and marking anxiety. It's the most time-sapping, exhausting and frankly boring thing I've ever encountered in HE - and it's in my research area.

Genuinely touched by this. I'll add though that art is the product of time & place so, similarly, I consider this award reflective of the excellent colleagues & students I am lucky to work with. The whole School makes working life lots of fun ❤️ @uniofstandrews.bsky.social @arthistorysta.bsky.social

As an introduction one of my research interests is 20th century women photographers in Scotland. In 2024 as part of Glasgow International with Craigmillar Now, I curated an exhibition of Sandra George’s (1957-2013) work. Sandra was a Black photographer, artist and community worker in Edinburgh.
