Applications to Aston on the increase Back in January, the Department of Schools and Colleges Liaison undertook some quantitative analysis to compare the level of applications to Aston with applications across the HE sector as a whole. On 5 January it was reported that Home/EU applications were 32% up on the same time in 2004 and that international applications were up a huge 44%. These figures were particularly exciting for Aston at a time when applications across the HE sector as a whole were only marginally up by 9% (with some evidence of a last minute rush to beat the introduction of variable fees). Our showing at over 21% above the national average is excellent news, and is down to a number of factors: • All Schools of • There has been a greatly enhanced Study across the international student recruitment drive University had both through the International Office and a very successful within Schools.

By contrast she has described activism as public and explicit arguing that a dichotomy or separation often exists between the two. The Plastic Ceiling Project aims to link these two spaces by using social media to offer an opportunity for women to share their everyday (private) lived experiences of balancing responsibilities for mothering, work and study and thus to (publicly) highlight participants’ collective perceived inequalities and provide a platform for activism. This initial small- scale pilot study explores the methods of photo-elicitation and blogging in order to create such a platform, allowing participants to highlight and discuss commonalities within their experiences. Rather than aiming to “solve” problems for participants, this methodology aims to empower individuals by allowing them to create a shared reality together, co- create knowledge and to give them a vehicle to discuss and resolve difficulties and challenges collectively.
