The Academic Development & Diversity team has developed an asynchronous resource to support colleagues to explore this topic in more detail. ‘Micro? Aggressions – recognise, reflect, resist’ is an hour long interactive online session, seeking to identify and raise awareness of the nature and impact of microaggressions and micro-inequities in their various guises. The session proposes two ‘acts of resistance’ that can frame our responses to actions which foster change. Take a look at the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) overview for more details. |

Research |

Calling all STEM researchersJanuary 2022 – the Association for Science Education’s annual conference for teachers is coming to Sheffield Hallam! We are hosting this four-day international conference, which brings together hundreds of science teachers, school leaders, researchers and stakeholders. A series of Frontier Science lectures allows the host HEI to showcase its research in the STEM subjects, providing opportunities for science teachers to update, deepen and/or extend their science subject knowledge. We are now seeking volunteers from across SHU to present their research in a Frontier Science lecture. Examples of potential areas of interest include (but are not limited to): energy and climate change, forensics, sports science, psychology and behavioural science, food engineering, materials, digital technologies, robotics and AI, health and wellbeing, languages, special educational needs and disabilities, and of course anything relating to children. And of course, in 2022, much research related to Covid-19 will be of particular interest. To nominate yourself, a team or a colleague to present a Frontier Science session, please complete the online form. We will come back to you in the coming weeks to confirm your participation and/or to request for further information if needed. If you would like to discuss whether your research is appropriate for a science teacher audience, feel free to get in touch with Professor Emily Perry (e.perry@shu.ac.uk), in Sheffield Institute of Education. |
