Tim Herrick founded and co-lead this scheme, which supports students and staff to have critical conversations about learning and teaching, across disciplinary boundaries, and grounded in specific observations of teaching practice.

The scheme has been running since 2017, and has involved at least 75 staff and 175 students, in an attempt to enhance the depth and breadth of conversations about teaching quality within the institution.

Student learning spaces

In a collaboration with colleagues from across the university led by Andrew Cox in the School of Information, Journalism and Communication, I am involved with ongoing explorations of how students experience the university campus as places for learning, especially where these are different from how the University imagines, plans, and manages those spaces. This work contributes to the University's Digital Experience component of the Education strategy and is directly informing policy and practices for new learning spaces in the institution.
