Talking D&T
Talking D&T is a podcast about design and technology education. Join me, Dr Alison Hardy, as I share news, views, ideas and opinions about D&T. I also talk about D&T with teachers, researchers and academics from the D&T community.
The views on this podcast are my own and of those I am interviewing and are not connected to my institution. Much of the content is work in progress. As well as talking about D&T, I use it to explore new ideas and thoughts related to D&T education and my research, which are still embryonic and may change. Consult my publications for a reliable record of my considered thoughts on the topic featured in this podcast.
This podcast is independently produced and funded by Dr Alison Hardy. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of Nottingham Trent University. All views expressed are those of the host and guests and do not reflect the views of the University.

Not Ready Yet: The Professor Application That Wasn't
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Talking D&T +
Exclusive access to premium content!I applied for my professorship at my university and didn't get it despite approval at school level. The feedback indicated I was "not ready yet" due to insufficient sustained activity, impact and income generation.
The rejection has forced me to reconsider my priorities and what drives my academic work. It caused me to think about how I stay grounded in my values when facing rejection or organisational change.
