FW: QMUL Educational Research Seminar: Managing Competing Agendas in a Transformed HE Landscape

 

Employability and Graduate Attributes View this email in your browser QMUL Educational Research Seminars 2016-17     Managing competing agendas in a transformed HE landscape: the case for critical engagement with employability and graduate attributes Dr Finola Farrant, University of Roehampton Thursday 16 February 2017, 1-2pm, CAPD Seminar Room, Queen Mary University of London, Room 0.15 Scape East, 438-490 Mile End Road, London E1 4GG Register here   About the seminar Higher education in the UK is going through significant transformation. A number of governmental policies have been put in place that have had – and will continue to have – a major impact on the teaching and learning experience within universities. Simultaneously, student expectations have shifted, with a greater focus on 'value for money', employment readiness and high quality teaching.  At the University of Roehampton a new set of graduate attributes have been introduced that seek to ensure that the needs and expectations of students are met, particularly in relation to employability. This session will reflect on some of the tensions and opportunities created in engaging with employability at a subject level. Drawing on my experience as programme convenor for criminology and our strategy of embedding employability into curriculum design whilst also seeking to maintain academic rigour, the aim of the session is to encourage participants to consider what it means to have a university degree in contemporary society; to reflect on their own experiences of employability; to explore how employability can be taken forward in different academic programmes; and finally, to share good practice. About the presenter Finola Farrant is Programme Convenor and Senior Lecturer in Criminology at University of Roehampton. She has experience as a practitioner, researcher and in policy development in a range of criminal justice settings. Her main areas of research interest include: penology, popular culture, gender and identity, and life story methodologies. She has undertaken extensive research on behalf of a number of Government departments (Ministry of Justice, Home Office, National Offender Management Service, Youth Justice Board, Department of Health and Department for Education); as well as for local government and non-governmental organisations.     Find out more about the Educational Research Seminars series and book upcoming seminars on the CAPD website.

Apologies for cross-posting

 

Learning Technology and Innovation at the LSE are pleased to host Professor Robert Allison Vice-Chancellor & President Loughborough University who will be speaking at our 'Network ED: Uncertain Futures' series of public talks and debates. His talk will be held on Wednesday March 1st at 2.30pm and will be held in KSW G.01.  Book your free ticket for this event here  http://bit.ly/2lgAlSy

 

Professor Allison will be discussing the role that learning technology and innovation have played in the successes enjoyed by Loughborough University and the challenges he sees arising from the 'uncertain futures' that will shape Higher Education over the next five years.  In the areas of learning technology and education (especially the NSS) the University has consistently been highlighted as high-performing and innovative, with a strong and embedded commitment to the student experience.  We hope this will be a provocative and engaging discussion.

 

We have just confirmed our next two speakers in this exciting series as the current Head of Google Education in Europe, Liz Sproat (10^th May) and the Senior Vice President UK Higher Education & International Qualifications at Pearson, Andy Moss (14^th June). 

This is an exciting series of talks, all of which will address the fundamental issues and debates around the Uncertain Futures for Higher Education in a post-Brexit, post-Trump world.

 

Regards

Peter

Conference Inference - new blog

About Conference Inference – Conference Inference: "About Conference Inference

Conference Inference is, as its name suggests, about analytically engaging with the world of conferences. The blog builds on the personal, professional, and theoretical readings that conferences always produce, but which are often shared informally or internally. Our aim is to place conferences and conference experiences centre-stage as important sites where knowledge production, academic careers, and friendship occur."
