HEA workshop: Narrating your academic practice
Thursday 27 June, Kents Hill conferencing centre, Milton Keynes

This workshop is free of charge to colleagues from subscribing institutions.

By the end of this workshop you will have:
 •analysed your teaching in a critical and creative way;
 •started to construct a narrative of your own teaching, drawing on the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF), which can be used as the basis for your application for recognition as Academy Associate Fellow or Fellow.


According to Hannah Arendt, storytelling can be ‘a place to begin inquiry’, which can ‘hold fragments together’. In this workshop we will take you to the heart of your academic ‘story’ to curate the different experiences and encounters of your own teaching.
 
Metaphor and narratives abound in the Arts & Humanities and in the Social Sciences. This workshop aims to bring together the language of our disciplines with the language of academic practice used in the UKPSF.
 
Throughout the day you will participate in a series of creative ‘making and connecting’ activities - for example, creating rich pictures, identifying narrative structure (story and plot) and drawing on dominant tropes - that will both support your own reflective practice and provide you with a ‘toolbox’ for use with your students in the future. In the final session of the day you will draw on the outcomes of these activities to develop the structure for the narrative of your own learning and teaching.
