Centre for Scholarship and Innovation in Management Education

About the centre

Vision

To promote innovation in management education and to inspire evidence-based excellence in our pedagogy in response to the changing nature of learning.

Mission

To become an international leading centre for enquiry into the theory and practice of management education, empowering colleagues to develop research and evidence-based practices that have an impact on one’s own practice, and beyond.

Purpose

To develop a collaborative and interdisciplinary space through which we will explore the future of teaching and scholarship in management education. The centre focuses on promoting and establishing recognition of scholarship and research in teaching and learning underpinning LUMS’ commitment to nurture a diverse academic community and further advance scholarship-focused pathways to promotion. This centre fulfils the school’s ambition for teaching and learning excellence, contributing to global accreditations and rankings and enacting our PRME commitment. The centre is a beacon in nurturing an interdisciplinary field of sustainability encouraging the use of novel methods and ambitious systemic approaches to combine our understanding of organizations and interdisciplinary knowledge of ecosystems and planetary boundaries.

Aims

The centre focuses on the enhancement of teaching and learning through scholarship, research and learners’ engagement, encouraging colleagues to reflect on their own practice, lead debates in the pedagogy of their own discipline and impact wider education communities through globally recognised scholarship outputs.

We aim to:

  1. Create a community of practice that co-creates innovative advancements of management education delivered in Lancaster as well as our overseas campuses to a wide range of learners delivering our degree programmes and our bespoke executive provision
  2. Support colleges to take their scholarship to the public domain in order to develop high-quality scholarly outputs such as pedagogic journal articles, book chapters, case studies, blogs, articles in professional magazines, published case studies and presentations at conferences
  3. Identify innovative responses to the changing nature of learning and learners’ needs to develop new ways of engagement for learners with the School’s expertise through novel modes of delivery encompassing technology attracting new funding streams
  4. Develop a critical evaluation framework for LUMS pedagogy praxis challenging what counts as scholarship and the methods we use to advance understanding of learning and teaching across a range of traditions and contexts
