Opinion: Where are the Women Managers ?

Last September, Deloitte announced that the gender pay gap will not close definitively before 2069. In the UK, there was still a 17.48% wage difference in 2014 (OECD). However, a recent study from Resolution Foundation showed that women in their twenties only face a 5% salary inequality. While it is a positive advancement, this gap will only deepen throughout their career, as they will face heavy barriers to progress in their job, hardly ever reaching managerial positions.

HIL: Learning Outside the Classroom

This is the first instalment in a new series entitled 'How I Learn', which will focus on how the different ways people learn. When I was aged 14 I was involved in a school trip to Ypres, Belgium. This is my significant learning experience. Ypres has become a focal point for remembrance of those who lost their lives fighting in the First World War. The stand out experience of the day for me undoubtedly was a visit to a centre where trenches had been preserved. Continue reading →

This then focused my inquiry towards containerization in shipping. Continue reading →

Book Review – “Never Eat Alone”

  It was March 1st when I noticed ‘Never Eat Alone’ popping on my Amazon ‘suggested items’ feed. Honestly, I didn’t read the abstract or any comments, I just liked the picture on the cover and decided to give it a try. What a better time to start reading a book than midterm semester at University? I had so much work to do, that finally gave up and had a good stretch on the couch cuddling with a nice business book.

Student Teachers on MANG1022

Another year, another guest lecture...hopefully it doesn't get any less exciting! Two weeks ago, trusty DigiChamps Tom Rowledge, Sarah Hewitt and Nic Fair and I all delivered a session on Digital Literacies to MANG1022. This was an interactive session, similar in many ways to the one last year, but also with an additional "Data-Gathering" dimension. I'll come on to the content in the session in a second, but it is important first to explain the context. Continue reading →
