Rethinking the Curriculum for 21st Century Students
This conference is being held in the memory of Professor Ron Emanuel who
was committed to bringing under-represented groups into higher education,
and giving them opportunity to explore their educational potential.
Much thinking has gone into how to change students to fit current
curricula, but we have to also face the more challenging questions about
how we develop curriculum to support the needs of the wide and diverse body
of students now undertaking degree courses. Widened participation demands
an inclusive approach. Anxieties about lowering the quality of degree
standards often prevent open discussion of how we can change the curriculum
to support the teaching of this broad group of students. This conference
brings together a range of experts who will contribute to this debate and
take up this challenge.
Cost £75
