I think it’s very interesting that you have highlighted that the top key three factors that dictate the amount of earnings/ earning potential is based on
I) how well and individual does their job
II) level of difficulty
I think that a lot has to be attributed not only to the historical attribution of colonialism but also the idea of eugenics/ craniology has become nuanced within institutions predominantly education in the way that we look at intelligence and competence. Therefore, the prevailing ideology of Darwin-esque understanding of intelligence still promotes the idea of intelligence thus evolutionist ideals.

TA0: I believe fundamentally that as mentioned an “exchange” of ideas, knowledges and truth is crucial within the teaching environment. Being in a tutorial / class where information is relayed in a dictatorial sense breeds nothing but contempt for learning. I’m currently reading inferno – Dante Allgheri which is about Dante and his journey through hell/ purgatory to reach his love through his guide Virgil. Reading the book the journey Dante is comparable to the obstacles that we face, feeling vulnerable, fearful through, the journey although it has it ending in regards to knowledge the play the back and forth, the rhythm that you referenced is always at play as teachers / students there’s always more you can learn.
TAO: I think especially within an arts university neuro-diversity, in relation to learning needs, present certain challenges and sometimes it can be a difficult barrier when planning lessons because sometimes it’s not very easy to cater to all learning needs. I think that giving students the creativity to respond in ways that they feel comfortable provides space for teachers as facilitators to understand their learning needs and how they feel comfortable communication thus highlighting their strengths so that that they can work on their weaknesses and Vice a versa in how we teach.
I think that undeniably when it comes to productivity regarding a student work that sometimes Procrastination can affect the amount of work that is made. I also think that sometimes reputable institutions and the way that they operate can often be a barrier to how students respond whereas some students may feel that a lack of history may be an incentive to procreativity sometimes it can be the complete opposite where this can further alienate and exclude students as they do not feel connected to the institution.

TAO: object-based learning pragmatically structures how we can create dialogue; the Aesthetics’ of the object is merely the veneer that leads to deeper conversations. I found the session very informative and I think that sometimes we forget that we are not superhuman when we are juggling a long list of responsibilities, we can forget ourselves in the process, during the last 12 months nature has become incredibly important in people’s well-being and it’s definitely not only relaxing but reminds us to slow down.

TAO: I often thought about playing music during our little breaks in our tutorials to get a sense of who we are because being in a digital/ virtual environment can connect you but also isolate you at the same time. I understand the anxiety around the decision to turn your camera on/ off because it’s a form of vulnerability allowing people to be part of your safe space and sometimes it takes time to let your walls down. I think music is such a wonderful way for your students/ peers connect. Before tutorials / presentations I worry about stuttering and not having enough clarity in my delivery I’m often very nervous and music and sketching is one of the ways that I use to ground me and I think that it’s something that I will definitely be implementing into my teaching practice.
