This poster discusses the use of memes in higher education and in particular engaging with post graduate students as part of their MSc Criminology degree. Students were asked to create a meme each week reflecting on the content of the previous week. Students were interviewed after the module ended to gather feedback on what they thought of the initiative. Student feedback was overwhelmingly positive, referring to feelings of inclusivity, connection, humour and being forced to reflect and revise lecture content. Tips on how to create your own memes are included so you can also have a try.
