The 2019 conference will be held at Kings College London on the 18th October, 2019.
Keynote Speakers:
Dr. Sally Hancock, University of York, who will draw on her ongoing research into the employment outcomes of doctoral graduates in the UK, and her published work using the principles of game theory to examine the career strategies of doctoral scientists.
Dr. Julia Yates, City, University of London, will speak about Career Identities and Future Possible Selves.
Who should attend? Researcher development colleagues, careers consultants, staff developers, academic researchers in higher education disciplines, and HE policy makers.

We welcome presentations of:
Research outcomes of existing researcher development activity in terms of impact and efficacy of practice.
Research in to new pedagogies, theories or programme concepts for the development of researchers.
Opinion pieces founded in existing research outputs that: project future pedagogical needs and programme concepts for the development of researchers; or, identify key gaps in the current published research in respect of the development of researchers.
NEW! Delegates have the opportunity to submit abstracts for a blog post that will contribute towards a special edition of a REDS blog series that will be launched at REDS conference 2019. We encourage all those who have research they feel is suitable to present at the conference to submit for an oral presentation; however, those who are unable to attend the conference in October, or have research that they feel more suited to a blog post, should consider submitting for this new format.
For examples of the style, presentation, and detail expected, see this example. The abstract submission form is the same for both formats.
More information, including registration and abstract submission, can be found here.

We are pleased to announce our Call for Proposals for the 2019 UEL Learning and Teaching Symposium is now open at: https://uelcelt.wordpress.com/symposium/
The 2019 UEL Learning and Teaching Symposium has a theme of Connected Students. The date of the Symposium is Thursday 19th September 2019 | #uelLTSymp19
This is an overarching theme that aims to showcase the ways in which UEL currently connects our students to innovative pedagogies, through student as partners, support services and the industry to give a genuine and relevant career-focused curriculum that enables advance knowledge whereby students can grow and develop personally, professionally and intellectually.
We are the collaborative partners - the 'academic allies' - of our students in the pursuit of better opportunities for all. This event will showcase your scholarly approaches to learning and teaching that are aimed at: enhancing students' sense of belonging and engagement; harnessing the freedom of critical thinking; embracing the power of knowledge; embedding the gains of work experience; and engaging in the transgression of connectedness (connecting as equals).
We are particularly interested in decolonial praxes aimed at addressing the BAME 'attainment gap'
Interactive sessions may address a wide range of topics related to this year's theme, including, but not limited to:
If you are doing work in any of these areas and would like to come to University Square Stratford (5 mins from Stratford Station) to present, please submit a proposal. We may be able to accommodate virtual presentations too.

"In this conversation we will be exploring the potential of collage making as a tool for academic development, and for teaching and learning more widely. Drawing on the work of Daphne Loads (2010; 2016; 2017) I will be discussing the importance of such arts based methods for connecting learners with their own perceptions, and enabling connections between individuals to enhance learning communities."
Full details of this TLC & the presenter are available on the TLC website at: https://tlcwebinars.wordpress.com

What are practical strategies that we can use to do this work? And what relationship does this work have to the degree awarding or attainment gap?
We would be really delighted to welcome those interested in this area. The link for further information and to register is: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/decolonising-the-humanities-and-social-sciences-tickets-57993536228

Registration is now open for the next PIM on June 22nd at the University of Northampton. All information is on the BALEAP website, but just to remind you about the day:
The Knowledge in EAP PIM aims to explore and exploit the existing knowledge, experience and beliefs of the BALEAP community present on the day to interrogate the position of knowledge in EAP, with the intention of challenging the status quo and driving the field of EAP forward.
There has been increasing consideration of the role of knowledge in the field of EAP [with Ding and Bruce's (2017) focus on the practitioner, Maton's plenary at the 2017 conference in Bristol introducing Legitimation Code Theory, Kirk's (2017) 'seeing knowledges in academic writing', and Monbec's (2018) focus on making knowledge explicit in the EAP curriculum]. It would appear that now is an opportune moment to open up dialogue across the BALEAP community concerning knowledge in EAP. To this end, the structure of this PIM is quite different, aiming to generate discussion and enable contributions from the wider audience. The day will follow the world café format, with a call for café hosts, rather than a traditional call for papers. Hosts will lead a room; introducing the room to an aspect of knowledge within EAP that the host feels passionate about and/or has researched (in a maximum of 6 minutes) and then facilitating the audience's exploration of this theme through up to 4 related questions. This format will afford greater discussion and input from the participants, enabling the host to gather a richer snapshot of the EAP community's beliefs and experiences.
Suggested considerations for host proposals:
* Pedagogical content knowledge
* Content knowledge
* Knowledge base of the EAP practitioner
* The production of knowledge
* Metalinguistic knowledge
* Legitimate Knowledge
* Troublesome knowledge
* New directions for knowledge in EAP
Although this is a one-day event, it is hoped that it will be a catalyst for taking EAP in new directions, with long-lasting impacts. The intention is that there are tangible outputs from the day to be published and made freely available to the global EAP community.
The call for host proposals is now open and closes midnight 17th March.
All information is here: https://www.baleap.org/event/knowledge-in-eap
You can also email baleap@northampton.ac.uk if you have any questions or would like any more information.
Best wishes
