Being Black in the academy

Navigating higher education as a racial minority can be fraught, but for Black men and women, often the least represented minority group in an institution, the academy can be especially isolating and unwelcoming. Students, staff and academics at every career level report suffering impostor syndrome, have seen their careers stalled by conscious or unconscious bias and are often overburdened with unpaid labour on EDI initiatives. This collection of Campus resources and views provides actions that can be taken to improve diversity and belonging for Black staff and students, advice for Black academics on navigating the career ladder, tips for creating an anti-racist university and more.
How will ChatGPT change higher education?

AI transformers like ChatGPT are here, so what next?

Artificial intelligence in academia is nothing new. However, the ease with which ChatGPT and other AI writing programmes generate essays, research articles or songs has sent tremors across the higher education sector. Will it be a liberating force for good that frees up cognitive space for deeper thinking? Or does its potential for cheating and shortcuts signal the end of critical thinking and academic integrity? The truth, as ever, probably lies somewhere in between, but one thing is sure: we cannot ignore it. This resource collection offers insight into the technology’s potential impact, advice on how educators should respond and ideas on how to use it in assessments or lesson planning. ChatGPT itself even offers suggestions on how to use it in the classroom.

It roots knowledge in specific places, immersing students in local cultures, histories and environments. This collection of resources offers examples of successful place-based learning and advice for those who wish to introduce this pedagogy to their courses.
