Talking D&T
Talking D&T is a podcast about design and technology education. Join me, Dr Alison Hardy, as I share news, views, ideas and opinions about D&T. I also talk about D&T with teachers, researchers and academics from the D&T community.
The views on this podcast are my own and of those I am interviewing and are not connected to my institution. Much of the content is work in progress. As well as talking about D&T, I use it to explore new ideas and thoughts related to D&T education and my research, which are still embryonic and may change. Consult my publications for a reliable record of my considered thoughts on the topic featured in this podcast.

Talking D&T
TD&T063 Part 3 History of D&T
This is part 3 of my history of D&T.
Some questions for you to think about:
- In your context, who has the power, urgency and legitimacy to influence or change the value, purpose and nature of D&T education?
- If you don't have all 3 of these characteristics (power, urgency and legitimacy), who do you need to collaborate with?
- How are you sharing your D&T practitioner research with the wider education community?
- Who do you think has the power, urgency and legitimacy at national (macro), local (meso) and classroom (micro) level?
