Wed 7th Feb 12.30-2pm: Teaching, research and public engagement: G.32, 7 George Square
Public engagement (PE) and knowledge exchange (KE) are increasingly seen as an integral part of academic work. They disseminate research findings, produce impact, strengthen universities’ reputation and attract future students. And they can undoubtedly be a lot of fun. This learning lunch looks at the way they can also improve our teaching.
Issues that will be raised include how Public Engagement / Knowledge Exchange experience can change the way in which we interact with students, make lectures more engaging, make assessments more relevant and increase a sense of satisfaction with the role of an academic teacher. Practical tips and recommendations will also be shared.
The event will be chaired by Shonagh McEwan from the KE Office and the speakers are Thomas Bak and Bonnie Auyeung, Psychology.
