A selfie of me holding up a visitor badge toward the camera from my recent school interview. The badge has been hilariously defaced by my husband with handwritten text crossing out the word “visitor” replacing it with "BOSS". I am beaming with excitement!

Wooohooo! This September (once the PhD is finally done) I’ll be heading back to the classroom as Head of Design & Technology at a fantastic Cardiff school! 🥳

I can’t wait to put my #CriticalPedagogy research into practice and help show the real-world impact of #DTEducation, #Sustainability & #CfW 🙌

What can we do to actually make progress on critical thinking?

A photograph of my fingernails on top on the palm of my hand with show the yellow stain of my nails and my hands.

Above are some pics from today and this is the current state of my nails.

When my hands look like this, it's always been a fun day! 🙌

A photo of a classroom/school hall with my PhD educational cartoon displayed on the screen in the background. In front of this are several tables and chairs ready to welcome 30 pupils for a practical day learning about fast-fashion.

It was so wonderful to see my PhD resources being used again for real-world learning in a real (non-data) classroom, well, school hall actually! I had a fantastic time with three classes of Y4 pupils (90 in total!) at Whitchurch Primary School today!

A photo of me teaching a class of children. I am sat at the table with the children surrounding me as I demonstrate how to tie fabric for tie-dye.

A photo of activity sheets which feature a comic-strip style cartoon documenting the journey of our clothes. There are two piles of completed worksheets. The first is exploring garment worker exploitation and the second explores the impacts of chemical dyes. The comics have speech bubbles which the pupils have filled in with emojis to communicate how the story made them feel and led to discussions about how to make it better.

A photograph of several bright yellow rectangles of cotton fabric which have been tie-dyed using turmeric.

A photograph of fabric painting protest banner squares which the children are working on (hands just visible). It features three squares of fabric with positive messages for garment workers and a paint tray in the centre of the image with several paint brushes and mixed up paint.

I had such a wonderful time at Ysgol Trimsaran teaching Y3 pupils about where our clothes come from & where they end up.

We had an action packed day using my #PhD resources on an imaginary journey along the #FastFashion supply chain...

A photograph of the cover of the Paulo Freire book "Pedagogy of the Oppressed". The design is bold in contrast using red, yellow and black. The upper part of the cover has a red background with a rough yellow negative style image of showing a group of people with fists in the air, the lower half is the same image but with a black background and red images. The middle centre of the book has a black rectangle with yellow text saying "PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED", under this is a yellow rectangle with black text saying he authors name: "PAULO FREIRE". The bottom of the book has the Penguin publisher logo and white text saying: "New revised edition of this international classic"

It's officially #FreireFriday as I'm about to tackle the critical pedagogy section of my theoretical framework thesis chapter!

But I am NOT allowing myself to open this book*, because I can never put it down...

Fascinating to see how far my research has travelled. My latest #PhD #CriticalPedagogy paper has been read in Portugal-Malaysia-Turkey & has an interest score higher than 67% of research items published in 2025!

This is bonkers to me!🤯

Amidst AI hype in higher education, we must move beyond efficiency talk to civic and existential reflection. As Carl Sagan urged, critical thinking is key. Without it, we risk raising users, not citizens. #AIethics #HigherEd #BaloneyDetection #CriticalPedagogy
