I've written about taking a short course to learn something new on this blog but it feels strange that, other than that, I've not really tackled the topic of lifelong learning before. After all, I spent 17 of the the first 22 years of my life in full-time education and, since then, I've spent many... Continue Reading →
This month's question is: How do you think intersectionality can become the norm, as opposed to it often being seen as an oppositional ideology?
