Thanks to @GaryRaymond_ and the Radio Wales Arts Show for having myself, @NorenaShopland and @dr_deininger on last night to talk about the 'Woman's Wales?' collection. Brilliant to have this discussion in the week we got our first female @PrifWeinidog. https://t.co/gPp77KWHrU

Huge thanks to @workthewind for a reflective review of 'Woman's Wales?'. It's so important that we keep this discussion going as we prepare to enter a new phase of devolution in Wales, with a new First Minister at the helm.
This is a time to keep pushing to make Wales a country in which women are genuinely leading, are heard by those with power and are well served in all parts of our lives ✍️@workthewind

Car crash from @GMB presenters. Do they even have researchers on @GMB? I've been interviewed on Wales and #GeneralElection2024 by French and German broadcasters this past fortnight who have far greater knowledge and depth of understanding.

A great chapter from my colleague @Oen_C @LTAcademyCU. If you're interested in relationship building, trust and respect in HE and TEL (as well as learning about the Wales Virtual Hospital!), it's well worth a read. Llongyfarchiadau Owen.

What if, instead of national service, we prioritise free further education, affordable housing, and cheap, green, reliable energy as standard? Just an idea.

Have women’s lives improved since devolution in Wales? @DrEmmaSchofield draws on both professional expertise and personal experience to reflect. https://t.co/CR8bULoaQ0

Have women’s lives have markedly improved since devolution in Wales? The question mark of the tiitle of Woman's Wales? is a giveaway.

So pleased to see this published today in the Western Mail. It's all about routes back into education and mentions the work we do at Lifelong Learning's Pathways to a Degree programme at Cardiff University. ❤️

Those criticising #Seneddreform & increase in MSs might want to train their sights on @HouseofCommons where MPs have been sent home early on several occasions recently due to lack of business. Equally astonishing is more than 100 MPs have no committee or other roles to fulfil.

We've a lot of visibly very stressed students using our spaces at the moment. It may sound obvious to you and a bit of a cliché but please look out for each other over the next few weeks. Team up for coffee breaks. Go for little walks around the park. 1/2
