  • S3E20 - Claire Stocks on pracademics or dual professionals

    Claire and I talk about her time working with dual professionals, the barriers they can face in academia and the benefits they bring to the work place.

    If you'd like to contact Claire:

    Twitter (X): @DrClaireStocks

     

    If people haven't heard of BPP, our website is

    here: https://bpp.com/

     

    Earlier this year Claire set up a network for colleagues who are supporting dual professionals to move into or develop their

    practice within HE. If anyone would like to join them, they can request to be added to their Jisc Mailing list

    JISCMail - SUPPORTINGPROFESSIONALS List at WWW.JISCMAIL.AC.UK
    The group contains lots of academic/educational developers, but also a number of dual professionals, and they're always interested to hear about their experiences. The Network is called Supporting Professionals in(to) HE  (SPiHE) The intention of the group is to share practice, look for opportunities for collaboration and scholarship, and generally raise the profile of practice-informed
    learning and teaching.
    If people are interested in exploring the issue of
    nomenclature (as we did a little bit in our discussion), Dr. Mary Kitchener's work (starting with her blog post
    What’s in a name? The rise of the practitioner academic and time to reconsider standardised induction support | BERA)
    would be a good starting point. She has also contributed to a recent book (2023), edited by Jill Dickinson and Teri-Lisa Griffiths called Professional Development for Practitioners in Academia, so that would also be a good resource for people to explore. Finally, there is a good paper by Dr. Emma Gillaspy and colleagues that discusses both imposter phenomenon and also intersectionality of dual professionals called 'Hard Graft: Collaborative exploration of working-class stories in shaping female educator identities' -
    that can be accessed
    Hard Graft: Collaborative exploration of working class stories in shaping female educator identities | PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice (ljmu.ac.uk)

  • S3E19 - Rich Hind on Games (RPG Card games, simulations and dynamic case studies)

    Rich and I talk about card games he's developed for use in social work, nursing and geography. He gives lots of practical examples as to how to create card games that have a dynamic quality that allows them to create case studies and simulations with enormous variations and provides an RPG (role-playing game) experience that can also be undertaken individually. Some great insights and ideas.

    Here are the references from the episode

  • L&T Bite Size 31 - Where next?

    Having recorded 30 episodes of something that I had envisaged might involve half a dozen episodes before others started to contribute I'm going to take a short break. But I'd like to ask three things of the lovely audiences who have listened to me prattle on.

    Firstly, if you have found any of this (or the main podcast) useful and can provide some feedback on how you've used it in your teaching and what impact, if any, it's had on your students then please let me know. I'm trying to apply for National teaching fellow and impact is proving a difficult thing to evidence.

    Secondly, if you'd like to contribute to the Bite Size podcast, please get in touch, or just send me an mp3 of 1 to 15 minutes.

    Lastly, if you have any questions or if there are subjects you'd like me to cover please put them in the question option here, or send me an email.

    For any of the above my address is [email protected]

    Thank you for listening
