Thriving in difficult times: a workshop for heads of department and
subject leaders
Date: 10 September, 2009
Location: School of African and Oriental Studies, London, WC1H 0XG
Leading in languages, linguistics and area studies has always been a
challenge. The outcomes of the 2008 RAE, the drive to cut public
spending and continuing concerns about student recruitment make the
current times particularly difficult. These challenges make the need
for strong leadership in LLAS departments all the more important. This
very practical workshop is aimed at both experienced heads of
department/ subject leaders and those new to the role.
At the end of the workshop participants will have and increased
awareness of the importance of:
- Understanding the place of LLAS subjects in your institution's
mission
- Nurturing relationships with senior management
- Understanding university decision making processes
- Responding to senior management initiatives, messages and decisions
- Promoting your subject within the university
- Understanding the national picture
- Leading change within your institution
- Leading change in your department/ discipline
