School of Health & Wellbeing

Is there something you'd like to share about your experience of working or studying in Institute of Health and Wellbeing (including in the realm of equality, diversity and inclusion) that colleagues might find interesting or helpful, would relate to or feel empathy with?

As part of our efforts to make IHW's monthly newsletter, HAWKEYE, balanced, inclusive and relatable, we are looking for reflective, blog-type content to add to our newly-launched "IHW voices" section, so do get in touch if you would like to contribute.

Examples of pieces written from a more personal perspective in previous editions of HAWKEYE include: 

Black Lives Matter 

• In that moment, I suddenly felt that I too could not breathe 
  Rayana Mohammed
• It is unfair. It is wrong. It is heartbreaking. It hurts. 
  Patrice Reid
• Black students and academics don't need performative allyship, we need change 
  Ruth Agbakoba

COVID-19

• Reflections on redeployment 
  Julie Langan Martin
• I'm not sure of this world I'm working in 
  Suzy Syrett
• Are you finished yet Mummy? 
  Miriam Yentumi
• Keeping work going as well as caring for our children has been challenging 
  Chris Bunn
• I started to feel there was something important I could help with 
  Katie Robb

200 words is plenty (although there is no strict word limit), the style can be informal, and we would welcome short pieces from ANYONE within the IHW community, both staff - research, teaching and professional services - and students. 

We hope you find this an interesting, informative and enjoyable addition to HAWKEYE, and will consider contributing, either now or in the future. If you would like to discuss your idea for a piece, please contact jane.goodfellow@glasgow.ac.uk, or send your content direct to ihwadmin@glasgow.ac.uk.
