Episode 341: Amazing Dr Huges - dismantling egos in education

As promised a podcast with an off the cuff - wing it conversation on already dismantling egos in education.Don't tell us what we can't do - we are already doing it!A lot of sound advice to 15-year-olds there who've been told they can't do it!I wish the audio was better - we are both maxed out and needed to do this via zoom which is never ideal and I feel it didn't do Graham's tone justice! Sorry!Graham and a passion project on dinosaurs (this was a dream since a little kid!):https://www.ucd.ie/newsandopinion/news/2019/june/13/tyrannosaurusrexnosedoutthecompetitionnewstudysuggests/https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.2019.0909

Episode 340: Why feedback counts - introduction to next episode

I don't do plug podcats so when I say the support means a lot to me - I mean it - but the connections and the feedback are what matters to me as someone on the fringes of everywhere. I made a choice not to have an academic university 'home' to belong to. For as little as €5 (a cup of coffee a month) you can have access to the writing journeys which are the advanced course of these podcasts. The journeys that help you find your own core. I've proven it over and over now the impacts of my writing. You can be whatever you dream. It becomes reality.    https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261 I'm so excited to do the next episode with Dr Graham Huges!

Episode 339: Identity and the validation trap

Identity and labels are not simple for me - I can't just pick them to fit in .. this is why! But this is not about me being right - it's about you making your own choices that are for the right motivations and your needs. The books I talk about:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55224246-the-essential-june-jordanhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13591815-the-collected-poems-of-lucille-clifton-1965-2010https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38598541-the-master-s-tools-will-never-dismantle-the-master-s-houseI don't mention this one but it's another in my current reading stack - it speaks strongly about the impacts of Jewish identity and feminism in relation to the American court system. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29868604-my-own-wordsMy Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/user?u=48642261&fan_landing=true
