The Fifth Symposium on Social Learning Space: Knowledge Spaces



The Reinvention Centre for Undergraduate Research

Westwood Campus, University of Warwick

Monday 29 March, 2010



'Knowledge spaces are the thick social spaces through which truth,
knowledge and power are created' (Sarah Wright, 2005: 908)


Following the success of the previous four Space Symposia, Knowledge
Spaces addresses the role of architecture, spatial planning and the use of
different spaces in the construction and experience of curricula and
pedagogy in Higher Education.

The symposium will address the question of how the spaces we create,
occupy and challenge, both within the university and beyond it, affect
what and how we know, as well as considering who plays what roles in the
process of knowledge creation and communication. In particular, the
symposium will explore:

·        the landscapes of learning in Higher Education

·        the use of 'real life' spaces such as urban, public, employment
and community settings for the development and enactment of curricula and
assessment

·        the relationship between physical classroom spaces and different
pedagogical approaches

·        the role of university buildings and curricula in shaping
pedagogical and political relations between students and staff

The event offers an exciting and diverse programme of keynote lecture(s),
participatory workshop(s) and an interactive research exhibition.

Confirmed speakers and workshop leaders:

·        Professor Mike Neary, University of Lincoln

·        Professor Jonothan Neelands, Institute of Education, University
of Warwick

·        Oscar van den Wijngaard and Wilfred van Dellen, University
College Maastricht

·        Dr Sarah Czerny and Students, University of Rijeka, Croatia.



Contributions are invited for the research exhibition, in the form of
posters, artistic or photographic exhibits, or any other formats which can
be reasonably accommodated.  Centres for Excellence in teaching and
Learning (CETLs) and other projects which have developed new or renewed
spaces in recent years are particularly encouraged to use the exhibition
as a forum for sharing information about the creation, occupation and
impact of their space and spatial interventions.

Deadlines for contributions to the research exhibition:

Monday 15 February 2010 - Summary of intended contribution and description
of media

Friday 19 March 2010 - Submission of final poster/ artwork
