FW: Humanising learning and teaching – what the Arts and Humanities can do for learning and teaching in an age of metrics

 

Humanising learning and teaching – what the Arts and Humanities can do for learning and teaching in an age of metrics

18^th June 2018, University of Stirling

 

As academic colleagues across the higher education sector continue to develop and expand their scholarship of learning and teaching, this afternoon allows us to pause and consider what methodologies and thinking from the Arts and Humanities disciplines can bring to a wider understanding of learning and teaching in Higher Education. Specifically, what might they contribute to current debates in a climate that is increasingly preoccupied with measurements and metrics? How can these practices benefit colleagues from across the disciplines, helping us all to translate, interpret and seek out patterns as a way of understanding what is happening and how we can learn from each other? This symposium aims to bring together colleagues exploring these diverse practices so that we can collectively and critically examine what value they bring to our own learning and teaching practices and those of our colleagues. Can we find a humanising language to explore meaningfully our increasingly metrics-driven higher education context? 

 

Areas to explore:

-          Examining learning and teaching from new perspectives

-          Embodying academic practice

-          Making power, resistance and desire in learning and teaching explicit

-          Exposing the fear and shame of teaching

-          Joy and creativity in teaching

-          The role of the humanities in the metrics-driven agenda of current HE sector in the UK

 

14:00	Welcome and introductions
