Event Details

Despite the fact that the majority of students attend a campus to study, there is little research exploring the ways in which those physical spaces mediate students’ experiences.

Drawing on focus group data from a current UK-based project, this seminar considers – from students’ perspectives – the varied impacts of the location, buildings, layout, and facilities of a university. These include attracting and repelling enrolments, enabling and disabling interactions, and supporting and inhibiting learning and other activities.

Bio:

Richard is a Lecturer in Higher Education at Lancaster University and has worked in comparative education since 2000. His primary foci are students’ experiences, educational inequalities, and higher education policy.
