Another full-circle moment! Last week, I had the privilege of accompanying our latest cohort of students to Christ Church, Oxford, supporting them as they explore university admissions and higher education opportunities.Reflecting on nearly 3.5 years at Thinking Black, I'm overwhelmed by the impact we've made. From trips to publishing agencies to student publications, celebration days, and creating decolonised essay content on identity, community, and heritage - all centered on Black scholarship. It all began with a chance encounter that led me to the ACT essay prize, where I wrote my first academic piece for the 'Our Time is Now' module: "Why didn't the Tottenham riots turn into a revolution?"That moment was truly transformative. It gave me the skills and confidence to professionally articulate my thoughts and feelings while embracing my own experiences - I still vividly remember where I was and how I felt during those riots.As I prepare to take a brief hiatus from Thinking Black to pursue my master's degree, I'm filled with both sadness and excitement. Sad to step back from this life-changing organisation, but thrilled to watch it grow, develop, and adapt to support even more students.To all young Black individuals out there: please get involved with Thinking Black in any way you can - participate, work with us, or simply keep an eye on our progress. The future is bright, and I can't wait to see where we go from here!#ThinkingBlack #HigherEducation #BlackScholarship #FullCircleMoment

Some thoughts as we celebrate Arts in Education week!We are living in a world in constant motion—one that is divided, complex, and yet overflowing with opportunities for growth and transformation. It’s a world where both organic and artificial intelligence intertwine, working together to shape our future. But in this intricate, fast-paced landscape, what we need more than ever is a collective humanity, not isolated individuals. This is where the arts come in. The arts nurture the very qualities our world urgently craves. They have the power to help us pause, appreciate the subtle beauty of our interconnectedness, and unlock a deeper understanding of the human experience. Through the arts, we learn to take risks, challenge the status quo, and explore new possibilities with an open mind. The arts teach us to find comfort in ambiguity, daring us to take the path less traveled.Above all, the arts connect us—through shared experiences of wonder, curiosity, and imagination. They are not just a means to well-roundedness; they are the gateway to the essential traits and mindsets needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving world. If we truly wish to reimagine education, we must elevate the arts to their rightful place at the heart of learning. In doing so, we will empower the next generation to succeed not just in school or their careers, but in life itself.Alejandra (Allie) Joyner, M.Ed. Paul Reynolds National Art Education Association (NAEA)

Doesn’t it feel like all we talk about these days is AI? It tops every agenda now – from Davos to Dayton. Yes, we need to take it seriously and prepare: jobs will go away and many more will change – but how? As technology does more of the work on our behalf – for better or worse – distinctly human capabilities like creativity, critical thinking, clarity of expression, and caring for human experience will increasingly become the “hard” skills. Are we ready?Thanks to Michael Elliott and Emily Cameron Griffen for having me back to Amherst College (seriously, twist my arm…) to share a perspective on how a Liberal Arts education will prepare today's students for leadership in the future – in careers, yes – and also in life and as citizens of an increasingly complex society.

Good opening: education is the fuel for transformation. As academics, we're driven by what's happening in society; that is we drive to do research that helps society address what's happening. As such, the academy has a role to play in society. This perspective aligns with the new Smith School of Business at Queen's University Strategic Action Plan. https://lnkd.in/gGxdBcnH

Why is Marxism taught at UW? It is an ideology of hate that promotes violence, class warfare, dictatorship of the proletariat, treating humans not as individuals but as members of a class. No country has benefited from Marxism. Marxism is responsible for 200 million deaths in the 20th century. The University of Washington should not hire Marxists for the same reason they should not hire Nazis. Can someone please explain what is going on at UW?

Now more than ever, students and families are questioning the value not only of higher education, but also of art degrees. Fine arts degrees are increasingly seen as a luxury in an economy hyper-focused on profit and technological advancement. However, the idea that majoring in the arts stifles what a graduate can achieve is a limiting perspective. Read on to learn more about how Lake Forest prepares fine arts graduates for a changing world. https://zurl.co/LjYO

In the conversation about college ROI, rankings often come up as an important metric, but the factors that make a college rank higher don’t always translate to student success. rankings emphasize endowment size over other important factors. According to Malcolm Gladwell's deep dive on college rankings a few years ago, Dillard University, an HBCU in Louisiana, is one of the top producers per capita of African American graduates majoring in physics. Despite this the school is ranked astonishingly low in the U.S. News list of best colleges– in the hundreds. Willow is aiming to provide a more reliable platform for high school students to discover programs that fit them best, rather than relying on flawed rankings as the only source of info.https://lnkd.in/eqCpeA-T
