RIP Rachel Cooper
Professor Cooper set up Imagination Lancaster, which transformed design education at Lancaster University, was a dynamic powerhouse in the world of design education & perhaps most importantly was a thoroughly lovely person.
While never working with her closely, she & I often crossed paths when I was in mid-management at LU, and she remained one of the few academics for whom I had an unalloyed respect.
A very sad loss to cancer.

in reply to Carsten O. 📯 💚🌻 • • •Das Bild zeigt eine schwarz-weiße Silhouette eines Mannes mit Frisur und Brille. Der Mann hat eine spitz zulaufende Haarstruktur und eine Brille mit einem breiten Rahmen. Unterhalb der Silhouette steht in großen, schwarzen Buchstaben der Text "ER MUSS ENDLICH WEG". Oben im Bild ist ein Text in kleinerer Schrift zu sehen: "Bildquelle FB - Danke - Die Partei, Schildau - Bergen!". Das Bild scheint eine politische Botschaft zu vermitteln, da es mit einer Partei in Verbindung steht.
