In this episode of the Good Practice in Teaching podcast, Sarah Dyer, Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning, talks to Loretta Anthony-Okeke about the Advance HE project ‘Student Knowledge Exchange Re-Imagined’

Minoritised and international students face unique challenges in Higher Education, which can lead to gaps in attainment and employment. The project seeks to address these issues by developing strategies that enhance career readiness and align with evolving industry demands. Sarah and Loretta also reflect on the experience of co-producing an Advance HE project.

Loretta Anthony-Okeke is a Senior Lecturer in Education in the Manchester Institute of Education (MIE), Associate Director of Widening Participation in the School of Environment, Education and Development (SEED) at the University of Manchester, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
