Not been out of the classroom much in the last couple of weeks so it was really refreshing to think about current issues, 'culture wars' and the challenges faced by small museums with a visit to our neighbours The Cartoon Museum Humanities at Westminster

Writers, editors, book people : my lovely Humanities at Westminster MA students are doing a project on AI and want to chat to people who are working with words (& other people’s words) about their experience of AI & writing/editing/publishing. Is anyone able to have a chat/ give thoughts?

First visit to London Transport Museum in too long! Some museums just have such a good vibe, especially on a busy Friday in the school hols. Fantastic variety of object interpretation styles for our Humanities at Westminster to dig into in our penultimate class of the year.
