It is the time of the year when we take a look back and reflect on what we have done. This year the Career Guidance for Social Justice website has been busier than ever, attracting over 14,000 visitors. But, what have they been reading? In this post we count down the top 10 most read posts in 2021.

(10) The tenth most viewed post on our site was Ronald Sultana’s wonderful A commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion: A visual meditation from Ronald Sultana.

(9) Neelam Thapar and Vanessa Airth raised huge interest in their strategy to deliver social justice as part of London Metropolitan University’s careers service. Delivering social justice; a collaborative strategic approach.

(8) 2021 was the year of COP26 and so unsurprisingly interest in green guidance grew. David Roe’s post ‘Green’ guidance was the eighth most viewed of the year.

(7) Some really creative ideas came out of the course that we ran at INN on career guidance and social justice. Olga Pokrovskaya and Anna Pallin went as far as to make Social justice and career guidance: The movie.

(6) My presentation on social justice and social mobility also seemed to engage a few people. Social justice and social mobility: Implications for careers education and guidance.

(5) Readers love practical resources and so Inga Stenumgaard’s developmental card game has been one of the best loved posts of 2021. Five minutes of social justice in a busy day (a social justice card game)

(4) Back in February Lizzie Knight interviewed Candy Ho about her work with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs for career exploration and purpose – interview with Dr Candy Ho.

(3) Raza Abbas’s interview with David Blustein was also one of the most highly read pieces. ‘Everyone has a right to a decent and dignified life that includes a meaningful career’ – An interview with David Blustein.

(2) Sadly concern about Covid-19 has not gone away in 2021 and seems likely to continue in 2022. Perhaps because of this the piece written by Ronald Sultana, Rie Thomsen and I at the start of the pandemic remains as one of the site’s most popular pieces. Why a social justice informed approach to career guidance matters in the time of coronavirus. It has also been very popular in its Danish translation.

(1) And in the top spot we have an important account of the struggles over employment and academic freedom at the University of Leicester. What is going on at the University of Leicester? As the UK’s University and College Unions is going back into dispute next year, we may well be hearing more about this…

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the site during 2021. I’d love to hear from people who are interested in contributing during 2022. See our notes on making a contribution to the site.
