This is the recording of the book launch event to celebrate the publication of "Making the most of your research journal".

This is an extract from my contribution to the LSE Impact blog discussing how to keep an effective research journal, thereby busting some of the myths surrounding research journaling.

This post is a link to a recording from an event held on the 25th November 2020 via the University of Birmingham, where I was asked to discuss disability experiences before and after Covid19 Lockdown.

In this short video, I am answering 5 interview questions on the occasion of the Disability History Month. 

I have been asked about strategies for teaching international students. In principle, we should continue focussing on group work and sharing experiences and thus building collaborative, reflective practices.

This is my contribution to the RAI2018 conference in London "I can't describe what I'm going through - research, arts and therapy".

This entry shows the edited outcome of a video-recorded conversation regarding the use of creative and art-based methods in research.

I am often asked how much reading is enough? In this post I outline what you should consider in order to decide when it is enough.

This is my contribution to the Postgraduate Research Festival, the PGFes2016, at the University of Kent.

Many teacher training sessions and professional development courses nowadays link to or culminate in the compilation of portfolios. Portfolios are evidences and resources that are gathered and annotated systematically to provide an overview of the teachers' achievements, career events and areas for development. The process of gathering information for the portfolios is an opportunity to take a step back from everyday work to reposition yourself and reconsider your values, your development and your learning. Here is some help for developing portfolios.

If you read a great range of articles you may find that you cannot remember who said what when and where. Therefore, a systematic approach to reading and taking notes is necessary. It may be helpful to apply the "CaMLISd" grid.
