Case studies archive

Perhaps in the nature of its subject matter, the English Subject Centre worked across the boundaries between the broadly thematic and the intensely local and detailed. The collection of Case Studies archived here might be seen as a sort of pedagogic close reading. Colleagues who wrote up for the Subject Centre some aspect of their developing practice were doing more than clearing their own minds about teaching and how teaching might change in the future. They were also contributing in form and substance to a national (indeed international) conversation on how the academic community inducts and works with its students in the presence of the demanding subject matters of language, narrative, symbolism. We commend this archive to you. We hope you will browse it and find it interesting, not just for what it tells you about past experiments in learning, but for the ideas it might stimulate for your own adventures in teaching.
