The British Society of Criminology Learning &
Teaching Network Are Hosting a One-Day Conference:
Criminology at the Cutting Edge of the Curriculum
A Call For Papers
Criminology
due to unprecedented changes in the social, economic and political landscapes
is experiencing new avenues of exploration in a range of new frontiers from: border
control, positive criminology, new forms of cyber crime, green criminology, state
crimes, celebrity and crime, public criminology etc. We are keen to hear how such areas and many
others are affecting the pedagogical practices, the learning and teaching
methods, strategies, structures and assessments in order to deliver a
curriculum that is relevant and impactful to students.
The
aim of the conference is to provide a space to explore new and innovative ways
of delivering an ever-complex curriculum.
We recognise that there is no one size fits all approach. We therefore welcome papers that are still at
the ideas stage, as well as those sharing experiences of their attempts to be
innovative which have not worked as well as you had hoped but have now gained
some insight and reflections on your experiences; and we welcome papers from
those of you who have had successful ‘experiments’ in
We
welcome your abstracts on the following themes:
Adopting an outward-facing ethos as part of the
curriculum which encourages students to work with communities beyond the

Using technology in the curriculum
Students as co-producers in the cutting edge
curriculum
Engaging students with social justice
New forms of assessment
Incorporating employability into the cutting
