Interdisciplinarity
- From Climate to Landscape: Imagining the Future (CLIF) November 2010
- Students used a field trip to Cornwall as the basis for creative projects imagining the future impact of climate change. This extra-curricular activity, part of the interdisciplinary CLIF project, led to presentations at a major academic conference. This case study was part of the English Subject Centre's 'Bringing the Outside In' case studies initiative.
- Developing oral skills for a changing world: the potential of Open Space facilitation
- This case study describes an attempt to adapt the facilitation technique known in the business world as ‘Open Space’ to higher education, in particular to a second year English Language module ‘Language and Gender’.
- Teaching the Unprintable: British Fiction Between the Wars - November 2010
- This case study is about how it is possible by simple teaching methods, and with some modest library facilities, to find ways of using single copies of relatively hard-to-get-texts in ways which open them up to whole seminar groups. Groups of students can then gain at least some access to a wider view of a period or genre than that provided by what is considered printable.
