Centre for Pedagogy Futures
The Centre for Pedagogy Futures (CPF) explores pedagogy as a dynamic and evolving field of inquiry spanning teaching, research, and creative practice. CPF supports critical, speculative, and long-horizon work across theory and practice, recognising that pedagogy unfolds through situated forms of attention, relation, and engagement. The Centre is committed to accessible and inclusive approaches to facilitation across disciplines, inspired by feminist, queer, decolonial, and postcolonial visions for the future of higher education.
Aims & objectives
CPF aims to advance critical approaches to pedagogy, facilitation, and collaborative knowledge-making in higher education. The Centre’s objectives are to:
- cultivate an active hub for pedagogical experimentation and exchange across disciplines;
- generate collaborative research, funding, and partnership opportunities; and
- develop novel forms of educational provision and public engagement within and beyond the university.
Through these activities, CPF seeks to foster more reflexive, equitable, and imaginative approaches to learning, research, and institutional life.
Ongoing Activities & Ways to Get Involved
CPF brings together researchers, teachers, practitioners, students, and external partners through activities such as open calls for provocations, reading and working groups, writing retreats, and incubator sessions for collective projects and funding bids. Guided by the Centre Lead in collaboration with Research Affiliates, the Centre supports shared inquiry into collaborative pedagogies, emerging methods, and new approaches to knowledge-making.
A new calendar of activities will be published in Autumn 2026.
If you are interested in connecting with CPF, participating in ongoing activities, or becoming a Research Affiliate, please contact the Centre Lead, Dr. Teoma Naccarato, to arrange an initial conversation. Everyone is welcome!
Dr Teoma Naccarato
Centre Lead
I work across choreography, philosophy, and technology, examining how movement is sensed, represented, and valued in contemporary culture. I approach choreography as a way of organising relationships between bodies, technologies, and differentiated ways of knowing. As Lead for the Centre for Pedagogy Futures and a Research Fellow in the Centre for Blended Realities at Falmouth University, I develop artistic, scholarly, and pedagogical approaches to embodiment in technologically mediated environments.
