We are delighted to announce the return of the LEaDER Journal Club for the 2023-24 academic year. The first session will be held on Zoom at 2pm on Tuesday 15th November.
The Journal Club exists to promote discussion of research into pedagogical practices. Each session engages with a different theme and focuses on two articles which speak to that theme.
In our first session, we will be discussing papers examining the ethnicity degree awarding gap and decolonising higher education:
- “Closing the Ethnicity Degree Awarding Gaps: Three Years On” – a report by UUK (2022) exploring issues relating to the degree awarding gap. We will be focussing our discussion on the report’s recommendations.
- “Decolonising Higher Education: Black and Minority Ethnic students’ experiences at an elite British university” – a study by Sakata et al. (2022) exploring the importance of creating an inclusive university experience for Black and Minority Ethnic students.
The session will last for an hour and all staff at City are invited to attend. Please register using this form.
We hope to see you there!
