Cambridge Oxford Exchange

After long months of reading, changing my topic and feeling pretty isolated in Bradford, I came down to Cambridge on Friday to mingle with other education posgrads at the Faculty of Education. I am still pretty connected to the uni here due to my PGCE and MEd and the fact that I am only graduating in March. I am still hoping to come back one day as a researcher or for a postdoc.

A couple of months ago I wrote about Ken Robinson and that you need to connect to the people of your 'tribe' to become good at what you are doing. Meeting all these lovely education postdocs and hearing from some really inspiring people was great- it really reminded me of the joys of studying and sharing practice!

While I was here, I also popped into the brilliant faculty library and worked for a few hours. I wish we had such a wonderful place to read and write up north! I am spending more and more time in one of the two libraries of Leeds uni, but working in front of a beautiful garden is something different all together!
