概要
 Unexpected and profound insights from smart people you’d like to meet. Mark Parry has a perspective, but as a conduit, he wants you to hear the perspectives of others. Mark’s longstanding commitment to learning, teaching and communication gets more engaging than ever as he chats with a broad and diverse range of intelligent, friendly and interesting people—artists, researchers, scientists, psychologists, film makers—who are thinking up new ideas and then getting on with making a big or small impact on the world. Mark takes time to listen to their perspectives, and so can you. If you ever wanted to know what the shattered ideology of the American dream looks like as a self-aware oil painting on instagram or how reflection and creative thought helps a scientific researcher in pursuit of a cancer cure or what melodramatic sex on 70s Australian television tells us about the politics of our society, then look no further. The goal: to get big, complex, challenging, important and contemporary ideas out to listeners that never knew they were interested. This is Perspectives in Parryville.

    Ep86: Shaheen, Learning Designer
    2026/10/26
    Today, my guest is Shaheen, a learning designer and learning and development specialist whose career journey has taken her from studying international trade in India, through the corporate world and Google, to learning design, social impact and disability advocacy. Shaheen offers a straightforward way of thinking about inclusive design. In this episode, Shaheen reflects on growing up in India and her early fascination with different cultures, people and the human stories behind them. She shares how an unexpected career in online marketing eventually revealed a passion for training and learning, and how a master's degree in learning sciences led her into learning design and an increasing focus on social impact and inclusion. We explore Shaheen's work leading a learning and development function within a disability advocacy organisation, where she encountered neurodivergence in a way that challenged some of her assumptions about what engagement in learning looks like. Shaheen wondered how learning designers and facilitators can better understand and design for neurodivergent brains and bodies. Our conversation takes a close look at inclusive learning design and the distinction between making individual adjustments and designing inclusively from the beginning. Shaheen explains why she believes that designing "for the margins" can create learning experiences that work better for everyone—and why inclusive design is ultimately just good design. We discuss some practical strategies for reducing sensory overwhelm and cognitive load, from providing agendas and materials in advance, to creating consistent structures and making expectations about participation clear. Shaheen also shares her approach to human-centred design, including the simple but powerful practice of asking learners what they need and involving them in the design process. We also explore why inclusion matters beyond compliance or what might sometimes be dismissed as a "soft" issue. Shaheen discusses the relationship between belonging, engagement, lived experience and learning outcomes, and makes the case for using both data and stories to help organisations understand the diversity that already exists within their classrooms and workplaces. Throughout our conversation is a recurring idea: inclusion is a design choice. It isn't necessarily about adding more time, more resources or more complexity. It's about the decisions we make when we design learning in the first place. Ideally, those decisions allow everyone in the room to participate, contribute and learn.

    Ep85: Glenn Solomons, Educator & Learning Designer
    2026/09/30
    Today, my guest is Glenn Solomons, an educator, learning designer and professional learning specialist whose career has taken him from art and design and studies in architecture, through to classroom teaching and school leadership, to designing professional learning experiences. Glenn shares how ten years in the classroom gradually led him into school leadership, where he discovered another passion: working with adults and facilitating teacher professional learning. Glenn describes the twists and turns that took him beyond the school classroom, from designing professional learning for school leaders across Australia, to developing online and blended learning and eventually establishing his own business, Cheeky Learning. We take a closer look at one of Glenn's recent projects with the Tasmanian Department for Education, Children and Young People, where he co-designed a series of online modules to support teacher mentors working with early career teachers. We explore the challenges that led to the project, the importance of co-design, the use of case studies and storyboarding, and the value of testing and gathering feedback on learning design approaches with real teachers. Our conversation also explores some of the human side of learning design. Glenn talks about trust, relationships, empathy and responsibility—and why understanding the people you're working with can be just as important as having a sound design process. We discuss the idea of being "kind to the person, tough on ideas", and how relationships can help people navigate differences of opinion without turning them into personal conflicts. Throughout our conversation is Glenn's strong belief that professional learning needs to bridge the gap between theory and practice. That is, rather than simply giving participants interesting information and sending them on their way, Glenn asks a simple question: Will this make a difference to what someone does tomorrow or Monday morning? We unpack Glenn's own learning design process—from understanding the problem you're actually trying to solve, through sequencing content into a coherent learning "thread", using case studies to apply ideas, developing action plans, and testing and iterating the final product. Glenn offers thoughtful reflections on designing learning that is practical, human and genuinely useful.

    Ep84: Lucy Blakemore, Researcher, Educator and Student Experience Specialist
    2026/08/19
    Today, my guest is Lucy Blakemore, a researcher, educator and student experience specialist whose career has taken a wonderfully non-linear path from studying German and Italian literature, to market research, English language teaching, educational technology and, more recently, research and insights in higher education. In this episode, Lucy reflects on growing up in the UK and choosing university subjects not because they pointed towards a particular career, but simply because they were things she enjoyed and was good at. She shares how studying languages opened up opportunities to travel and experience other cultures, and how a volunteering experience teaching English in Sudan led to an early realisation that she was fascinated by people's stories – and by asking questions. We explore Lucy's 25-year relationship with research, from conducting focus groups and interviews for everything from chocolate and cars to healthcare, through to her current work investigating student experiences and higher education. Lucy offers insights into the surprising connections between market research, teaching and learning design, and how skills developed in one career can quietly become the foundations for another. In our conversation, we explore Lucy's current research into leadership practices in international education. Rather than asking what makes a 'good leader', Lucy is interested in what leaders actually do – how they spend their days, build relationships, listen, navigate complex organisations and respond to the environments around them. We explore a simple technique of asking people to describe how she could essentially "be them for a day", revealing the often invisible practices that underpin leadership. We also discuss Lucy's research into community and belonging in higher education, and challenge some common assumptions about today's students. Rather than asking whether students belong to a university community, Lucy explores how universities might better understand and connect with the many communities that students already inhabit. We consider the role of learning design, online learning, equity and facilitation in creating meaningful opportunities for students to connect with one another. And throughout our conversation is a recurring theme: the power of asking questions. For Lucy, curiosity isn't simply a personality trait – it's a professional skill, especially when conducting research, designing learning, teaching, leading or simply trying to understand another person. Lucy reflects on her own unplanned career journey, the value of being open to unexpected opportunities, and why sometimes dismantling the career ladder you thought you were supposed to climb can lead somewhere much more interesting.
