Nice day out today with @scdtp.bsky.social Hearing about amazing placement opportunities for our students in a pretty cool venue

#RCHlaunch So many questions about in my mind about the idea of 'future proofing' research skills development (and role of AI in this). Great foregrounding of inclusivity though.

Here is a montage by @jo3grace.bsky.social of me presenting my research this morning at the University of Southampton Education School PGR conference. (and Jo’s title slide!) Great day with brilliant presentations from student colleagues.

@elsclark.bsky.social sharing the nuances of meaningful occupation and belonging. The latter much more slippery as a concept.
