Dear Students<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following discussions with Student Representatives, we have put together a list of some of our favourite books, journal articles, novels, films or podcasts for you to try while studying remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that we are not expecting you to read all or indeed any of this if you do not wish to do so. It’s most important to focus on your wellbeing – mental and physical – and to use your energy to help friends, family or neighbours who need you. Nevertheless, if you do have time to spare then we hope you might find some of the suggestions below interesting and relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments below. we’d love to hear what you are reading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
