MAI CONTRIBUTIONS

Following a feminist pedagogy, Ramsay worked with her students to capture their critical responses to representations in British Asian Films.

The pandemic has intensified our use of screens. Some have expressed concern about this. Ramsay reflects on how screen time can also facilitate connection and learning.
