In March 2026 I represented the College of Social Sciences in the kid Reporters Knowledge Exchange programme. This collaboration between the University of Glasgow and Hillhead Primary School brought 90 school children to campus to learn more about the media, digital storytelling, and the University’s research.

My contribution revolved around how to stay safe online. The pupils asked a range of questions including whether I enjoyed my job, what my favourite colour was, and of course what cat I would like to be! We then went on a tour of the Advanced Research Centre before the class engaged in other creative sessions on the day including designing zines.

Full details on the Children in Media project can be found here. A video showcasing the project can be viewed below:

Many thanks to the Nicole Smith, Libby Nelson and Charlotte Morris for the invitation to participate, and to Kieran McCarroll for capturing the interviews.
