The Rethinking Teaching Symposium will be held on Wednesday 21 November from 16:30 to 20:00 in Lecture Theatre 2 (LT2).
This symposium brings together a group of international scholars to present their research about the ontological aspects of teaching, an issue which is still very much under-explored in higher education and particularly in teacher education. The presentations explore ways of thinking differently about teaching and other educational practices that inspire teachers towards a wider and deeper sense of being with the world and with others.
Please contact Prof. Simone Galea by email if you would like to attend.
