‘Thinking Impact’ is a space for staff and students to discuss the change we make through our teaching, learning, and research related activities. The series presents a variety of topics for discussion, with the aim to support the development of staff and students. Thinking Impact events bring together a diverse but related set of views to discuss impact. We aim to contribute to a culture within the faculty where impact, in its diverse form, is a valued activity across research, teaching, innovation and enterprise.
The next ‘Thinking Impact’ session is on Thursday 23rd March, 10am-11.30am (online). Together we will discuss pathways to impact from teaching through engagement with community groups. We will:
- Discuss examples of engagement related teaching and learning, and how this looks like in practice
- Create space for reflection and discussion on how the impact agenda provides barriers and enablers for engagement within teaching and learning
- Offer advice and ideas on how to create meaningful impacts through our teaching and learning
The session will be a combination of short presentations and discussions, and we encourage all staff and students with an interest in impact and professional development to attend.
