Earlier this month, figures revealed that the number of unconditional offers handed out by Universities has risen from 2,895 in 2013 to an eye watering 67,915 in 2018. With the Government describing Universities as having a “bums on seats” mentality, more graduates than ever are being churned out. With more graduates competing, and that mound […]

Finish this sentence with the first word the comes to mind: “Military women are___.” I’m willing to bet that your chosen word was something along the lines of “strong,” “brave,” or “amazing.” What society doesn’t know is that we are all of that and more. We are fashionistas, moguls, and inspirations as well. If you take the time to look deeper into […]

It’s important to note that what I am about to say is all my personal opinion based on my experiences of gendered approaches to learning.

Women in 2018 are marching for women. They are marching for the LGBT community. They are marching for social injustice and people with disability. They are marching for people of color. They are marching for control over their bodies and their decisions. They are marching for Planned Parenthood. They are marching to move forwards not […]

“I am not your dog that you whistle for; I’m not a stray animal you call over, and I am not, I never have been, nor will I ever be, your baby!” -Joy Jennings. In today’s society, sexual harassment against women seems to be a common thing, and this quote only touches the surface of […]
