“An ivory tower is a place — or an atmosphere — where people are happily cut off from the rest of the world in favour of their own pursuits. […] Most contemporary uses of the term refer to academia…”
I am a journalist and Senior Lecturer in Journalism coming to the end of the first year of my Doctorate in Education Creative and Media aka an Ed D.
I was, or rather, I am exploring the experience of journalism students of colour in Higher Education in the UK.
I am a blackademic and a hackademic.
I’m a maker and a creator and I like to doodle.
We – me and the students – are navigating the Ivory Tower.
This is an exploration of our journey.

"Who am I? Why am I here? You're asking, I'm asking. Tired of all the moaning around me, tired of waiting for something to happen, I decided that I couldn't just let life pass me by. It occurred to me that if I could help a single person, that act could change the outcome of an entire community for the better. I want to matter. I want to make a difference. I've chosen Nicaragua." That was 2011 - this is 2021. I'm researching for a Doctorate of Education Creative and Media aka an Ed D. Those early questions are still as important in 2021 as they were in 2011.
