As a new academic year approaches, it's been brilliant to engage in 2 days of serious & inspiring discussion & learning on teaching IR & politics with @PolStudiesAssoc @durham_uni 💡📚 Thx @amillican1 @LewisPzPaleto @Vhoneymanleeds @DrCathyElliott @jfgmoulton @SudhirSelvaraj etc!

Was great to be a part of this with @tac_air_power presenting our paper ‘Challenges and Opportunities for academics teaching politics in Professional Military Education.’ @CeisrUop @UoPAirPower @UoPBusiness

Excellent 2-days of discussion on teaching & learning. Enjoyed sharing my experiences of leadership and (hopefully) demystifying the role of a PVC Education. Thank you to @amillican1 Lewis Mates & everyone at Durham for hosting.

Oh and it turns out someone kindly took a picture of me arguing against anonymous marking as a bonus extra.... Hoping the article might come out soon so watch this space

What a brilliant couple of days at the @PSATeaching conference @durham_uni! Thanks to everyone who came along and especially @amillican1 for organising
