The series was approached as a set of interviews with individual academics, which took the form of reflective conversations between a CTL researcher and the individual academic. Academics approached for the interviews were not sampled, but drawn from different departments and different disciplines, and tended to be those who had had some involvement with CTL. At times we have incorporated other texts into the brief, to enrich the sense of the activities academics engage in, in \u2018making a life\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-430 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='430' data-nonce='816e348059' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/teaching\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-430 lc'>+17<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-430 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='430' data-nonce='816e348059' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/blogs.sun.ac.za\/teaching\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-430 unlc'>-10<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-430 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2026at that moment that you give students the project of discussing stereotyping, you are immediately in the position where you have to start thinking very carefully yourself about what you say, how you do things.
