Heroes and monsters: extra-ordinary tales of learning and teaching in the arts and humanities,
The Lowry, Manchester, 2-4 June 2014
About the conference
Our 3rd annual arts and humanities conference invites you to explore the everyday business of learning and teaching through metaphors of monsters and heroes. We hope that this conference will give delegates an opportunity to share stories of their academic practice, and to bring together discipline-based research and educational enquiry.
This conference asks how the idea of monstrosity can articulate the issues facing academics working in arts and humanities higher education today. We consider how monstrous pedagogies can disrupt the realities and habits of higher education in the arts and humanities, and show different ways of being, learning and teaching.
