**Apologies for cross-posting** Deadline Monday 10 February! There is still time to submit a proposal for this Higher Education Academy symposium: The Transatlantic: towards a scholarship learning of learning and teaching<http://www.heacademy.ac.uk/events/detail/2014/A_H/Transatlantic> 1 May 2014 The Foresight Centre University of Liverpool This symposium will consider pedagogies produced by the Caribbean and the transatlantic. If the Transatlantic as a field of enquiry ebbs and flows, ontologically and epistemologically, is its pedagogy similarly liquid? By restlessly remaking its definitions, its histories, and its connections, can the transatlantic offer a pedagogical model for the future? We invite exploration of: * Ownership and identity in the teaching of transatlantic histories and texts. * The transatlantic canon and the curriculum. * Teaching the transatlantic in the culturally, ethnically and historically diverse classroom. * Students as co-constructors of transatlantic knowledge. * Postcolonial pedagogies in transatlantic studies. * How does teaching the transatlantic differ as it crosses the Atlantic? Does the transatlantic look different at universities in the Caribbean, in Europe and in the US. * The transatlantic as metaphor for our own academic practice. We invite 15 minute papers, roundtable discussions and posters to share knowledge and learning and teaching experiences with us. Please email your proposals (maximum 250 words) to Catriona Cunningham<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by Monday 10 February 2014 Please encourage interested colleagues and postgraduate students to submit proposals and attend.
