FEAS

#FEAS! We have been biting our tongues for a while now...but finally the cat is out of the bag. The #FEAS collective is the winner of the 2023 Australian Association for Research Raewyn Connell Award!! mailchi.mp/aare.edu.au/gs…

@BA_WMN We absolutely love this. Add us to the list and we can share with our network too!

🚨Inspired by @FEASproject, we’re starting our own #BAWMNCiteClub Articles written by women are cited less than those of men in many fields & social media helps increase citations. Please submit citations & links to exemplary work of women in bioanthro! tinyurl.com/mr273pec

@sexgenderwsu @drjackieullman @BlaiseMindy @JoPollitt4 Thanks for the shout out!

Amazing new paper by @FEASproject argues that “the gendered impact of the pandemic in Higher Education Institutions constitutes a form of institutionally perpetrated sexist harassment” Emily Gray, our own @drjackieullman, and @BlaiseMindy @JoPollitt4 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

#matildas you have been amazing. Thank you for a wild ride and for always speaking truth to power! abc.net.au/news/2023-08-1…

We can’t think of 2 people we’d rather listen to in conversation 👇🏽

So excited for this ‘open-weather’ Roundtable with Sasha Englemann @sashacakes &Sophie Dyer & responses from artist-scholar @lindaknight65 & meteorologist Ange Prasad - tomorrow special time☁️

@RishiSunak Erm…wasn’t it the Tories under Thatcher that got rid of apprenticeships causing a massive shortfall in skilled labour that was then addressed by the migrant labour Brexit promised to stop 🤔

Too many students are being sold a university education that won't get them a decent job at the end of it. So I'm cracking down on rip-off degrees and boosting apprenticeships to ensure students get the best deal possible. Widening access. Boosting jobs. Growing the economy.

Don’t forget your Signature Spruik! Don’t list your own work - promote someone else’s…

Great to see over 50,000 people watching women’s football in Naarm last night. Matildas 1-0 France.

All too familiar for academic workers. A broken system that rewards unhealthy and unsustainable practices around work. There’s also a gendered hierarchy at play that mimics nuclear family ideals around who does care work.

@rasmarylou Ain’t that the truth! But why actually address the real issues (chronic underfunding, teacher remuneration) when you can conducts endless enquires and blame ITE for education’s woes?

@JohnnyKertesz @drlindagraham @Jennygore4 Plus we need to understand education as a discipline - research is really important here - it’s how we improve, change and challenge.

@FEASproject @drlindagraham @Jennygore4 But how many ITE professors could walk into a classroom & manifest in practical terms & positive impact all that they have learned? Or is it just do as I say?

“The report assumes new graduate teachers deliver poor teaching & their university education is to blame. This premise has been challenged by recent studies, which show new teachers teach just as well as those with years of experience”💯 ⁦@Jennygore4⁩ theconversation.com/teaching-degre…

@JohnnyKertesz @drlindagraham @Jennygore4 ‘Do as I say’ is the exact approach that is being advocated in this review. Learning science is a way to approach learning and teaching. Also, a lot of ITE is taught by casual (precariously employed) workers, many of whom either still teach in schools.

Here we go again. Learning science will solve the teacher shortage. Chronic underfunding, the public/private school divide and teacher workloads clearly have nothing to do with the state of education, which remains the most politicised profession.

@JohnnyKertesz @drlindagraham @Jennygore4 Teacher educators do walk into classrooms and teach, higher education teaching is teaching. They model techniques, they have deep and research informed understandings of pedagogy. More than that, they understand that there are many factors contributing to educational outcomes.

@drlindagraham @Jennygore4 This would be a supportable argument if we could verify that ITE academics themselves could walk into classrooms and teach. However, most are incapable and often unable to do so. Would you accept this in a surgeon?? #proveyoucandothejob

Important, timely and disturbing work from @stephwescott_ and Steven Roberts (Monash). The research points to the urgent need for women teachers to be heard and for action to be taken: canberratimes.com.au/story/8231717/…

We’re so sad to hear that Tina Turner has died. What a legend and a true inspiration. Such a survivor. RIP TT youtu.be/d4QnalIHlVc

Far out - this is awe inspiring. What an incredible and powerful voice. I agree, Stan. We in the media have poison in our bloodstream. (I too have often wondered how to stay in an industry so unethical.) POC in the media must be able to speak w/o being predator trolled.

“You know that was rape, don’t you?” All the myths others tell us + we tell ourselves about what rape actually looks like This was never a story I thought I'd be telling - about myself news.com.au/lifestyle/real… Thx @Chanelcontos @bri_lee_writer @realsarahpolley @hil_clix_pix

@GingerGorman @Chanelcontos @bri_lee_writer @realsarahpolley @hil_clix_pix Thanks for writing this piece, for highlighting the horrors hidden beneath the seemingly mundane - like song lyrics. So much work to be done.
