Every semester I will publish my goals, these are by no means a complete list of activities and goals. Some I’ve removed as appropriate for sensitivity reasons, and others will have become priorities since publishing.

There are only a few changes and additions here. Some of the conferences have been updated. I don’t think I will apply for Playful Learning as I did last year, but I would like to attend the Sheffield Documentary Festival as a delegate instead.
