Transatlantic Teaching Exchange Series
The Transatlantic Teaching Exchange Series brings together students and staff from the US, UK, and Canada to explore teaching practices as equal partners. Through online seminars, we challenge traditional hierarchies in higher education, creating spaces where students and staff co-facilitate discussions, and collaborate on research. We believe innovation happens when we understand what makes learning meaningful in different contexts and countries.
