The conference is organized by the University of Dundee; Zayed University, UAE; Florida State University, USA; AMPS and Routledge. Papers will be considered for inclusion in the Routledge series ‘A Focus on Pedagogy’.
The past two years of online teaching have forced educators to reconfigure their pedagogical practice. As a result, we have been obliged to look at academia in practical ways. However, the higher education sector has never only been about delivering classes. It has also never existed in isolation. It teaches students the skills of their disciplines – from art, design, the social sciences and the humanities, to health studies, environmental sciences, technology and engineering. It prepares them for a world of work and practice. In the process, it seeks to ‘transform’ them – opening them to the myriad possibilities education brings.
Considered in this context there are multiple issues we need to consider. How we support entry level students. How we develop disciplinary knowledge and expertise. How we avoid thinking in silos. How we foster critical self-reflection and lifelong learning. In a technologically fluid world, how do we keep up with changing uses of media? How do educators stay ‘connected’ with modes of student learning? How do we respond to cultural expectations?
All this is connected to the ‘world outside’. The professionals we ‘produce’ will engage with communities. In the best of cases, they will transform them. They will also work with industry – whether in the built environment, the creative industries, the cultural sector, or the worlds of health and education. How then, do we prepare our students for the social and workplace issues and players they will meet? In short, how are we contributing to the transformative experience of education?
