*Apologies for cross-postings* FREE Event: UAL Teaching Platform: Thinking Differently - Addressing Attainment Differentials in Higher Education http://events.arts.ac.uk/event/2019/2/5/UAL-Teaching-Platform-Thinking-Differently-Addressing-Attainment-Differentials-in-Higher-Education/ Tues 05 Feb 2018 9.30am to 4.30pm Attainment differentials between students of colour and white students are being exposed and considered across higher education. Members of the art and design higher education community are at different points in relation to recognising and addressing this problem. Dr Gurnam Singh (2018) refers to ‘Awarding Gaps’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxUS55LhHcM to highlight the institutional responsibilities associated with attainment differentials. This one day symposium will bring together educators and students who are leading work in this area. Keynote We look forward to welcoming Nona McDuff OBE, Director of Student Achievement, Kingston University as our keynote. Who should attend? This event is for tutors and leaders in art and design who want to understand (and address) the issues at stake. Over the course of the day there will be practical workshops and keynotes that will share work on decolonising the art school curriculum, redesigning assessment approaches, addressing implicit bias and combating stereotype threat Cost This event is free. Lunch is included. Booking Book your place online today!
