**Submission deadline extended until 10 January 2020**
We are delighted to announce that the call for papers for the next Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference is open!
Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching Conference
Interdisciplinarity in Practice and Action
University of Warwick
2 April 2020
Conference Theme
Interdisciplinarity: Learning Together
This year’s conference theme asks participants to consider the elements of collaboration, co-construction of knowledge and practice that underpin the interdisciplinary teaching and learning experiences of students and teachers. The diversity of contexts in which interdisciplinarity happens in Higher Education (e.g. liberal arts, joint honours degrees, single interdisciplinary modules, etc.) means this learning happens in a multitude of ways, and the conference will be an opportunity to share how these dynamics emerge within an interdisciplinary learning journey, inform our practices and generate impact in Higher Education.
This year’s event will run over one day and will include parallel sessions of short papers, hands-on workshops, and poster presentations. The day will open and close with keynote addresses and panels of staff and students.
We invite contributions from a diversity of interdisciplinary experiences and educational cultures, addressing different aspects of the conference theme. We warmly welcome contributions from early career academics, students and professionals who support interdisciplinary teaching and learning. We encourage joint proposals from teachers and students, particularly at an applied level.
Proposals for papers, panels, workshops and poster presentations should aim to address one or more of the following sub-themes - please identify the relevant theme(s) when submitting your application:
Interdisciplinary Practices in the Varied Contexts of Higher Education
How can teachers and students practically create a collaborative, student-centred, interdisciplinary learning environment from curriculum development to in-class and/or online delivery, to assessment, to student support? Examples of practice in any of these areas are welcome.
Interdisciplinary Experiences
What is the experience of interdisciplinary learning and teaching in the classrooms where you teach and/or learn? Why is it valuable for teachers and/or students? Reflective contributions are welcome.
Interdisciplinary Governance and Policies
How do we evaluate interdisciplinary learning and teaching? Can standard measurements be applied? If not, what do we do? How do we meaningfully advocate it at institutional and governmental levels?
Interdisciplinary Impacts
Why is an interdisciplinary, collaborative learning and teaching experience valuable for staff and students? What are the impacts on its participants? What are its outcomes?
· Papers should be a 15-minute presentation, plus 5 minutes for questions
· Posters should be A1 size
· Workshops should be practical hands-on, experience-based sessions of 40 minutes
