Hi everyone,
We've done some work on this at the GEES Subject Centre but as Liz noted
there is very little out there. We are holding a one day meeting on
internationalisation at the Masters level that will also include
discussion on L&T issues; in addition myself and some colleagues have
just submitted an article to the Journal of Geography in Higher
Education on diversity at postgraduate level (building on diversity to
enhance L&T). Also, a special edition of our publication, Planet, is
devoted to Masters' level (see
http://www.gees.ac.uk/pubs/planet/index.htm#P14).
Cheers,
Helen

Dear Sally et al
Here at Leicester we are currently exploring this topic and we hope to
publish the results of our own investigations. We have held our first
institutional conference on the specific needs of these learners and
have
been working with the York Consulting Group who are conducting a survey
on
behalf of the HEA. We have also taken part - as have a number of other
institutions - on this survey into the taught postgraduate (TPG)
experience.
There is very little about on this topic as a specific group although
there is a good report written on the web by Tom Sastry (HEPI) in 2004.
Tom now works for HEFCE and he agrees that there is a derth of
literature.
There is also a report to the House of Commons Education and Skills
Committee Inquiry in 2006 that provides background. There are numerous
reports and publications from such bodies as the IAU - and given that so
many of these learners are 'international'these are relevant.
The results of the HEA survey are expected sometime soon. Leicester
will
be delivering a further three events on focused TPG topics and we would
be
interested to talk to any other insitutions about the possibility of a
collaborative event - perhaps in response to the findings of the survey.
Kindest regards to all
Liz
