News and Events

Monday 30 – Tuesday 31 October 2017 | Warwick Arts Centre

A two-day festival that celebrates and continues to develop the exciting work of Warwick alumni theatre companies (including Clown Funeral, Barrel Organ, Emergency Chorus and Breach). Through panels, performances and discussions, Emerge 2017 addresses questions surrounding the complex world we live in today.

During the period Friday 20 October – Friday 3 November 2017 | Teaching Grid

IATL is hosting a WIHEA-funded visit from the International Visiting Teaching Fellows Sean Michael Morris and Jesse Stommel, who will deliver a series of events, including: Student Agency in Digital Spaces; Critical Instructional Design; Critical Digital Pedagogy; and Innovative Approaches to Assessment in Digital and Hybrid Pedagogies.

Apply by midnight tomorrow, Friday 13 October, for IATL funding, available in three streams: Academic Fellowships (for the re/development of modules), Strategic Projects (large-scale projects which support the University's Teaching and Learning Strategy), and Pedagogic Interventions (workshops, lectures, special events involving external guests, etc.).

This book - co-edited by IATL Director Dr Nicholas Monk and Monash colleagues Mia Lindgren, Sarah McDonald and Sarah Pasfield-Neofitou - examines the notion of identity using a variety of interdisciplinary approaches. It collects current thinking from international scholars spanning philosophy, history, science, cultural studies, media, translation, performance, and marketing. The book is born of the authors’ experience of sharing an IATL interdisciplinary module with their students.

Tuesday 26 – Wednesday 27 September 2017 | The Oculus

The full schedule is now available for ICUR 2017. An exclusively undergraduate forum designed to showcase the very best in undergraduate research, the 2017 event will join together students from as many as ten universities and campuses, across five continents, through the use of cutting-edge video conferencing technology.

On offer in 2017/18 are: Memory Studies; Experimental Ecologies; Habitability in the Universe; The Medical Mind in Literature and Culture; Thinking Water; and Ways of Knowing: Gender, Bodies, Power.

Congratulations on becoming Senior Fellows of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) to IATL Deputy Director Jonathan Heron (who has written an HEA blog post about it) and IATL Teaching Fellow Elena Riva, which means all of IATL’s academic staff now have an HEA fellowship.

The IATL team held a productive and enjoyable day at the Cryfield Sports Pavilion in July. Taking the opportunity of time away from the office, the team met to discuss what they enjoy about IATL's work and the challenges of working as a busy team, before focusing on the ways in which IATL can help to drive forward the University’s education strategy now and in the future.

Congratulations to Phil Gaydon, who has won an unprecedented second Warwick Award for Teaching Excellence (WATE) PGR. This represents a fitting end to his time with IATL, where he has been a great asset to the team; as announced in May, he is to be Teacher of Philosophy at St Paul’s School in London and we wish him every success in this new role.
