Dr Sunny Dhillon
Prior to joining the Education Studies team in November 2021, Sunny spent five years as a learning developer at the University of Leeds, as well as at Lincoln Bishop, where he also worked as a Visiting Tutor in the Theology, Ethics and Society department.

Nietzsche, Ernst Bloch and Theodor W. Adorno. Sunny’s research interests include Critical Theory (The Frankfurt School), Nietzsche, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Utopia and Philosophy of Education. His current research projects critically explore education as ontotheological principle, and student engagement from the perspective of academics in the social sciences who often experience a ‘disclosure dilemma’ when deciding what perspectives to share with students across levels of HE.

BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023
Following what is now a tradition at BGU, the English team would like to invite you all to celebrate the power of language through poetry this spring with the BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023. Why not take the opportunity during this April break to enjoy some poetry by venturing into poems by April born poets such as Maya Angelou, William Wordsworth, Charlotte Bronte and William Shakespeare, for example, or writing some lines of your own to seize a moment or reflect on the world outside or inside you. If inspired, we would like students and staff to consider taking part in BGU Tennyson Poetry Award 2023. To do so, write lines and lyrics in response to 'Flower in the crannied wall' by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892). You can find some of its lines carved on the plinth of Tennyson’s statue here in Lincoln, on the grounds of the Cathedral. Inspired by the Lincolnshire-born Victorian Poet Laureate, the Tennyson Poetry Award asks you to submit an original poem in response to a poem by Tennyson. Your poem may respond to Tennyson’s ‘Flower in the crannied wall’ in multiple and varied ways, without limits in terms of form, style, and lyrical language. To submit your poem, please send it as an attachment via email, including your name and contact details, to Dr Claudia Capancioni, Programme Leader for English, by 2nd June 2023 - claudia.capancioni@bishopg.ac.uk The winner/s will be announced on National Poetry 2023 (Thursday 5th October 2023). ‘Flower in the crannied wall’: Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower—but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is. - Alfred Lord Tennyson To celebrate National Poetry Day 2022, which was included in the Black History Month programme, staff and students shared their personal experiences, whether they were fun memories, intimate moments and shared wisdom, through their poems. It was a very enriching experience for those who attended: and we also all learnt how to compose a book spine poem and about the importance of personal triads. During the event, we also announced and had the pleasure to enjoy a poem that was awarded the Tennyson Poetry Award 2022, ‘A Word from Amphitrite’ by Daisy Hardwick Shaw. ‘A Word from Amphitrite’, is a poem by third-year English Literature student, Daisy Hardwick Shaw. Her original poem was inspired by an extract from ‘Ulysses’ by Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) and, with her permission, we share with you here: ‘A Word from Amphitrite’ by Daisy Hardwick Shaw -

Expert shares insights on equality in education at BGU
The lecture will take place on Monday 6th February as part of BGU’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Week. Titled ‘Learning lessons from Section 28: Why no one should have to pretend at school’, the talk aims to equip some of Lincolnshire’s trainee teachers with skills and knowledge to support diverse classrooms. Professor Lee - who teaches at Anglia Ruskin University - was awarded an MBE for services to equality in education in King Charles’ first New Year Honours List. Her new book ‘Pretended: Schools and Section 28’ was released in February 2023 and recounts her experience as an educator under the legislation. She also recently acted as a consultant on BAFTA-nominated movie Blue Jean, with the plot focused on a teacher’s inability to be her authentic self at work. Her talk to the university will provide valuable insights into issues of equality in education in the UK. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the history of LGBT+ rights, as well as engage in a thought-provoking discussion about contemporary struggles for equality in classrooms. Professor Lee said: “I’m really excited to talk to trainee teachers at BGU, especially during LGBT History Month. Section 28 prevented me being an authentic role model to young people when I was a teacher and so I’m delighted to be able to raise awareness of LGBTQ+ inclusion in my work with the next generation of teachers. “Young people in our schools deserve to be supported by teachers who put equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of their work, and so it’s fantastic that BGU a have put together such a comprehensive and exciting programme for their trainee teachers.” Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion week at Bishop Grosseteste University is an annual event aimed at raising awareness and promoting understanding of the importance of equal rights and opportunities in education. Trainee teachers will attend various lectures, seminars, and reflective workshops to enhance their knowledge and understanding of diversity and inclusive teaching practices, to meet the needs of all pupils. Bishop Grosseteste University Senior Lecturer and EDI Week Lead Dr Lyndsay Muir said: “It's a privilege to have Catherine inspire our trainees to develop their understanding of inclusive and adaptive teaching to meet the needs of all their current and future pupils. “We know from our research that this week enables a significant improvement in our trainees' confidence in tailoring teaching to remove barriers so that all pupils can reach their full potential.”
