Reimagining Boredom in Classrooms through Digital Game Spaces: Sociomaterial Perspectives

This book challenges common understandings of boredom and disengagement in classrooms, taking a relational approach to boredom which looks beyond the usual distinctions between in-school and out-of-school practices. The book explores how a sociomaterial perspective can provide an alternative analysis of boredom as performative, and as a phenomenon assembled in space and time rather than as a psychological attribute of the individual student. This perspective explores the affective experience of

The time has come to make the move from Twitter permanent I think. If we have to pay to get noticed or take part in polls the game is over! #edumastadon

Biggest ever university strike begins in fight over pay, pensions & conditions

Over 70,000 staff at 150 universities across the UK begin three days of strike action over attacks on pay, working conditions and pensions. The strike is the biggest in the history of higher education and UCU is predicting historic turnout on its picket lines.

#UCUStrikes

UK Universities are now no longer places of education and research but some kind of corporate entities bent on squeezing the last out of its greatest assets
- its staff & its students
- the levels of burnout & stress across academic and professional support staff is incredibly high

An attitude we should all count ourselves lucky prevails!

I'm lucky to work with incredible colleagues & teach amazing students - but I should expect to work in a place of dignity
