Dear colleague,
We would like to invite you to an exciting and stimulating one day
conference for social policy lecturers, those using social policy research
in their teaching and post graduates involved in teaching, to reflect on
and discuss ways of 'using social policy research in teaching' on 29 March
2007 at Aston Business School Conference Centre in Birmingham.
Professors Pete Alcock (Alcock, P. Erskine, A. May, M. (eds) (2003) The
Students' Companion to Social Policy. Oxford: Blackwell; Saul Becker
(Becker, S. and Bryman, A. (eds) (2004) Understanding Research for Social
Policy and Practice: Themes, Methods and Approaches. Bristol: Polity Press)
and Alan Jenkins (Jenkins, A. Breen, R. Lindsay, R. Brew, A. (2002)
Reshaping Higher Education: linking teaching and research. London:
Routledge) will set the scene with keynotes on the themes of:
* Using social policy research in teaching
* Perspectives on using quality social policy in research
* Lessons from other disciplines in approaches to the research-
teaching nexus - HEA's work programme
Following keynotes there will be discussion sessions for delegates to
build on and respond to themes and issues raised. Finally, delegates are
invited to a panel chaired by David Gladstone. Keynote speakers will be
joined by Professor Jane Millar and Professor Nick Ellison. All panel
members will attend discussion sessions and feed back issues raised to
this final plenary.
The cost of the event is £50 per person with a reduced rate of £30 for
students/service user reps.
