DISRUPTIONS, INTERVENTIONS & LIMINALITIES: CRITICAL PERFORMATIVE PEDAGOGIES
Stream Organiser: Dr Lee Campbell
In any pedagogical situation, you want the learners to feel safe. On the other hand, you must know that you may be faced with a group where there isn't a lot of dynamics, there's a lot of sleepiness and so on, and you [the teacher] want to somehow make them active, challenge them. Performative arts would have a lot of strategies (Manfred Schewe, 2016).
This stream asks: 'What happens when performative arts meet pedagogy?' and explores the possibilities of the emerging field of 'performative pedagogy' and its potential as useful and applicable to enabling learning across a range of artistic and possibly other disciplines. Papers comprising this panel from individuals and groups across all creative disciplines deploy pedagogic approaches with an emphasis on performativity to drive learning. They theorise, articulate and demonstrate some of the possibilities of using a critical performative pedagogy which may showcase good practice of making positive usage of performative teaching and learning.
Joe L. Kincheloe describes critical theorists as 'detectives of new theoretical insights, perpetually searching for new and interconnected ways of understanding power and oppression and the ways they shape everyday life and human experience'. (Kincheloe, Joe L., 2008. Critical Pedagogy. Peter Lang: New York). With a similar curiosity around power plays, a selection of these papers reflect upon how power may be understood in critical pedagogy in relation to 'the effects of power on shaping and misshaping the pedagogical act' as a means of (re)thinking how power relations may operate in teaching practice. Applying Michel Foucault's understanding of social power (1980), we envisage performance as a tool to make power relations visible (making performance as mirroring power plays that take place in all forms of daily human existence).
Raphael Hallett has suggested that students' work tends to be valued in terms of a very circumscribed, clean, clear presentation. Disruption, intervention, liminalities are forms of expression that do not necessarily correspond with conventional criteria that lean towards focus, precision, clarity, coherence and structure. Papers forming this stream deploy the strategies of performative pedagogy and relate in some way to 'disruption', 'intervention' and 'liminality'. Performance Art (and Art per se) is predicated on rule breaking, even on discomforting audiences, especially the elitist audiences of Live Art and Performance. As Dr Jane Munro recently pointed out at Tactics of Interruption, (Toynbee Studios, London, June 2016), interruption is about 'creating new forms – allowing interruption to shape the work – not hiding them'. A selection of these papers advocate the power of risk in teaching and learning, that explore disruption/interruption as a 'risky' pedagogic strategy to not only provoke students' participation but also to demonstrate how performative pedagogy can be effectively deployed to break implicit rules surrounding the exchange of power relation between student and teacher.

FW: Final call: Enhancing Learning & Teaching in Management Education: Getting to grips with a changing landscape
There is 1 week to register for Enhancing Learning & Teaching in Management Education: Getting to grips with a changing landscape (http://bit.ly/eltme2018info). You can join us in person at our beautiful campus in Lancaster, and we have options if you’re outside of the UK during the event.
We are looking forward to welcoming a range of colleagues who work directly in and alongside management schools across the UK. To date, we have had a large turnout from a range of colleagues across the UK who are programme leaders and co-ordinators, learning developers, lecturers, learning technologists, teaching fellows, librarians and recruitment officers among others. We still have a few spaces left, and invite you to join.
The event takes the form of an unconference and aims to be practical and collaborative and will consist of a series of brief 7-minute sharing sessions and longer 30 or 60-minute workshops. We’re especially keen to hear your ideas for 7-minute sharing sessions.
The overarching theme for the event is: ‘Developing the student: addressing issues arising from ever-increasing student numbers in management education’ and participants are invited to consider and contribute ideas encompassing:
· Transitions from school to university
· Peer learning and feedback
· Maths & stats development/support for management students
· Blending learning
· Technology enhanced learning and teaching
Event details:
The TeachMeet will be held on Wednesday, 20 June 2018 from 1100 to 1530 at Lancaster University Management School. Registration, coffee & networking is from 1000 and lunch and refreshments will be served. The event is free-of-charge!
