Event Details
Collaborative seminar series In partnership with Manchester Metropolitan, Leeds Beckett, Cardiff and Lancaster Universities
The Open University welcomes you to this collaborative, online series, focusing on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) within Business, Law, and Policing education.
Arising out of joint work with other university scholarship centres, the sessions aim to encourage joint working across disciplines and universities, to further scholarship and its impact across the HE sector.
The seminar series will be held over 3 lunchtimes sessions. Academics across the participating institutions will showcase their exciting scholarship work via short, interactive presentations and lightning talks. There will be a dedicated networking session at the close of each event, designed to promote discussion and collaboration.
We strongly encourage early and mid-career researchers to join us and build relationships with researchers with similar interests.
