[Humour] This is genuine from my University

Indeed. In fact no place anywhere except the kitchen, the bedroom and stonings.

My beard sales went well on Wednesday after the Ollie Robinson thing. Seems to have tailed off today.

There's a Deviance research group? Learn something new everyday.

So I get the bemusement of the OP. What has "deviancy" got to do with a course on construction / architecture?

El Pres really does get around...

And here I am trying to lecture my students on issues in the construction field such as exposure to Asbestos, Silica Dust, Noise and Hand Arm Vibration.

I knew I couldn't cut it in FE...

Reclaim Holloway is hosting four panel discussions throughout June at the London Festival of Architecture. Dr Rachel Seoighe from the University of Kent, an associate member of the Gender, Deviance and Society research group at Greenwich, will moderating the conversations and with some incredible speakers across architecture, women's services and rights, criminology and the women in construction movement.

Let me stop you there.

One of my worst ever PhD students submitted her thesis at 4.00 pm on the very last day of the 12 month extended window after the 3 years in the lab. She is the only one of my ex students to not publish a research paper. She spent a great deal of her time finding reasons for not coming in, and trashed her last experiment after making a schoolgirl error with some basic equipment

After graduating she left my institution but walked into a lectureship at another. Unheard of, I thought. Within 2 years she was promoted to senior lecturer.

At . . . . . the 'university' of Greenwich.

Just a minute, I'll ask Nicholas Parsons he'll know

Nothing at all. The series of discussions that the OP has linked to, are not part of the course he is teaching on. (Or indeed part of any course).

Hope this helps.

mthe latest President of our Professional Body is a Woman and almost certainly better at her job than me.

I think we’re starting to get to the bottom of this now

Even better that you classified the subject matter as humour. You lecture in comedy don't you. Why bother with Freud on jokes, when you've got jakarta on the twenty-first century?

Is 'hand arm vibration' a construction euphemism for knocking one out on your tea break?

What point are you trying to make?

An important point.

I think you have to make the distinction between teaching-led Universities
and research-led Universities. Chalk and cheese really. In the latter - the
emphasis is on research (income and outputs).

In a research-led university the emphasis is on research. Thanks for clearing this up, I was a bit confused.

What is the emphasis on at a teaching-led university then?

When you haven't been on NSC for a while and you come back and find threads like these, you remember why you signed up in the first place...

Having worked in both FE and HE, there are two quite different, if overlapping, cultures at work here. At the risk of stereotyping, FE is very hands-on, vocational and can-do whereas HE (in a university context) is discursive, critical and reflective. It could be that the OP is uncomfortably straddling (as it were) these two cultures.
For what it's worth, when I moved from FE to HE I did find myself reflecting that the unis (esp the research-intensive ones) can be a bit up themselves. But there and again, I was more 'town than gown'.

You are probably correct, I felt most of my eductional life in FE actually did some good, not all at sure my HE work has done much good.

Hey Ho another 60 minute Zoom meeting has just gone by with nothing to help my Students professional progression, but apparently we are much more diversive and inclusive...

Let me guess - you're an alumnus of the University of Life.
