We’re pleased to announce that the next two meetings of the LEaDER Journal Club will take place at midday on Tuesday 16th May and Tuesday 13th June.
May’s session marks Global Accessibility Awareness Day, with papers exploring the importance of accessibility in teaching and learning in HE. We will be looking at the following papers:
- Compton et al. (2023), “View of ‘Not as a temporary fluke but as standard’: realising the affordances of hybrid and online teaching for inclusive and sustainable education“.
- Fennelly-Atkinson et al. (2022), “Identifying accessibility factors affecting learner inclusion in online university programs.”
In June, as we look ahead to the new academic year, we will be exploring the importance of belonging in students’ transition to HE, with a focus on the following papers:
- Gravett & Ajjawi (2022), “Belonging as situated practice”.
- Meehan & Howells (2019), “In search of the feeling of ‘belonging’ in higher education: undergraduate students transition into higher education”.
Both sessions will be held over Zoom and will last an hour. Please follow the links to register for May’s session and June’s session.
We hope to see you there!
