What students say...

"In general, it’s just liberating to be presented with lots of different perspectives and the contexts they came from. Letting things be complicated and unresolved."

"The balance between teaching and discussion was exactly right. It all felt very comfortable to be able to speak and voice an opinion or question, and listen to some brilliant insights.

The style of teaching was remarkably engaging and inclusive, and I felt no fear at entering into the conversations or break-out rooms. It was expertly delivered, most notable too for the atmosphere of listening and kindness. Thank you."

"I’ve really appreciated the academic level its been pitched at. It was meaty and thoroughly engaging."

"The content has opened up a whole new way of looking at things and given me a new interest to build upon the basic knowledge that I have."
