This Critical Lens resource follows student focus group work in 2019 led by Dr. Ariadne Xenou, in which students asked for more support at earlier stages of the degree to prepare for stage 3 contextual studies. Ariadne also runs regular level 3 group work sessions to support critical dialogue around of body of work and contextual studies. The first set of resources were developed in 2020 by Dr. Ariadne Xenou with Andrew Conroy and Dr. Roberta McGrath. Group Work in 2021 with level 1 students enabled further student feedback to help shape the ongoing development of this resource.
