Understanding and overcoming the act of confrontation logically and objectively is going to aid you in dealing with a confrontation. Having a methodological mindset will likely help you as only you can change, if you believe that your behaviour is or is not working and so long as you are asserting positive change.
Read MoreAs a current third-year student, who has no interest in her current degree, I am currently debating whether a degree is relevant. The pandemic, specifically, has changed my perspective on degrees and university in general. There are lots of changes to how universities run and although some of the changes could not be helped, that has significantly changed the university experience.
Read MoreThe most notorious policy move in the Bill is voter ID - mandatory photo ID checks for voters at polling stations - if you forget your ID you are denied a vote until your identity is proven, a big step away from the current election system where voters can turn up without their ID or polling card. Though at face value voter ID does not seem like too big a hassle, the reality is that it will further isolate marginalised communities from politics.
Read MoreRepresentation, equality, inclusion… No matter how you dress it up over the past few years, there has been an uptick in conversations about closing the gap between what we see – via TV, Social Media or otherwise – and the realities of the diverse world we live in.

Read MoreThe face of the internet, social media, and politics is all very different. Helped along significantly by the 45th President of the United States choosing Twitter as his main policy outlet, plus the fact that we’re still essentially in our homes and connecting with the outside world through our screens two years into a pandemic, social media is no longer an optional extra when it comes to politics.
Read MoreIn a since deleted tweet, Good Morning Britain polled its viewers on a question that is hot on everyone’s minds – Should we be making vaccine’s mandatory? In the short time the poll was up, a resounding 89% of 45 thousand voters decided no, it isn’t time to make vaccines mandatory, whereas the remaining 11% agreed that we should.
Read MoreAt first glance, I look just like your average 20-something-year-old woman, you probably think I have a job, a busy social life, and do all of the things a woman in her 20’s does. But you couldn’t be more wrong.
Read MoreBack in December 2020, I tripped and fell into Bullet Journal Instagram. As someone with a creative streak I don’t indulge in nearly often enough and a crippling need for order and organisation, I’d found the answer to a question I didn’t realise I was even looking to answer. I knew, then and there, that I needed to join the Bullet Journal revolution.
Read MoreFinding a place as a Black artist in a predominantly white TV industry is an enormous struggle, particularly for budding professionals. Evidenced by a lack of necessary representation of Black people on screen and the lived experience of Black artists, it can be said that the industry has not always welcomed them with open arms. Many of these artists have openly expressed the issues of racial disparities in their profession. Even the few who triumph are compelled to constantly push themselves to thrive in the industry.
Read MoreHappy Holiday Season, everyone! From Halloween to Hanukkah and beyond, we're well into the annual period of wintry festivities. Whichever you choose to celebrate, I hope you enjoy yourselves and stay safe. For Christmas, I'm looking at some familiar tropes of this time from across English culture. Join me as I travel through history, exploring the folklore behind some of our favourite traditions.
Read MoreThe Nationality and Borders Bill was introduced to the House of Commons on 6th July 2021. It makes changes to the UK immigration system as it relates to asylum seekers and refugees; and does this primarily by introducing a two-tier system for asylum-seekers arriving in the UK, differentiating based on methods of arrival.

Read MoreBinarism is the way Western, colonialist, imperialist philosophy transforms the achingly beautiful breadth of experience into the heartache of rigid, violent divisions. It is a fundamental building block to anti-Indigeneity, to racism, to exorsexism, to transphobia, to ableism, to homophobia, to acephobia, .... It is divide and conquer, a tool to fracture us across a dozen fault lines, one group taking resources by subjugating another and destroying the rest.
Read MoreIf we keep being shocked by their scandals, it diverts us from attacking the troubling legislation they vote through, and leaves us powerless to tackle the “I’m all right Jack” mentality that such policies stoke up within the UK population. The rot runs much deeper than cheese and wine. The question is not where the damage is, or how to paint over it, but whether we can finally face digging up the floorboards.
Read MoreOn Monday 15th November 2021 Wildscreen held Communicating COP26 at Bristol Harbour Hotel & Spa. The purpose of the event was to translate complex but critical climate science and conservation and spotlight the crucial role that visual media plays in doing this.
Read MoreI go through phases when it comes to addressing people. For a long time, ‘man’ was my go-to. Yeah man. Thanks man. You’re standing on my foot, man. For a while I moved onto ‘dude’, because I’m a bit of a slacker and it felt apt. I’ve never been much of a ‘pal’ guy: I feel you have to look at least a bit hard to say pal, and I look like Tin Tin, so.

Read MoreChristmas is one of my favourite times of year, it’s a time for big turkeys, fairy lights and cosy pyjamas. It’s a season to spend time with your family and friends too. But there’s always one thing at the back of my mind at Christmas – how I’m going to afford presents for the people around me.
