I tried to caption this but decided not to as many of the words I came up with were inappropriate. Here’s to 2024.

I genuinely enjoyed the discussion we had today as part of a BALEAP ResTES talk about the experiences of students labelled international. Thanks @LaetitiaM19 and BALEAP for arranging this, and big thanks to everyone who attended.

Looks relevant to #tleap

Taking Bourdieu on a Field Trip by Dr Alex Ding #CollaborationPowerInfluencePowerinEAP offering solutions through scholarship - we need to understand ourselves better as EAP practitioners in order to do our jobs better. BALEAP

It appears its finally out now. Working with all the chapter authors has been a great pleasure, especially my co-editor @LaetitiaM19 - this volume should be of interest to #tleap BALEAP

Any research that mobilises 'the global south' as a an entity with distinct characteristics is racist by definition. One can't preach about decolonisation if they can't see the dangers underpinning their attempt to confine a plethora of realities under a grossly simplistic label.

Exploitative internationalisation is killing UK Higher Education. The widening gap between management and the rest of university members is facilitating this demise. We've suddenly shifted to measuring 'success' only in terms of international student recruitment. This must change

Looking forward to this :)

Campus security cancelled a research event deemed controversial. It takes an editor, two reviewers, and years of expertise to judge the quality of a paper. But within a neoliberal income obsessed settings, credentials don’t matter anymore. Disgraceful authoritarian approach.
