Pedagogy Futures

This programme addresses themes from staff wellbeing and industry engagement to the future of teaching and learning in higher education. Our projects investigate pedagogy from different disciplinary perspectives with innovative outcomes for the sector, wider culture and society.

    Programme overview 

    Pedagogy Futures is a collective of scholars developing pedagogical research that contributes to the institution, the higher education sector and wider society.

    We develop models for engaging with the creative industries as a means to research and teach, and develop models for teaching and learning in a fast changing higher education sector that honour traditions of education while responding to new demands and needs caused by technological and structural shifts.

    Our projects aim to develop large-scale, innovative pedagogy projects that are inter/transdisciplinary in nature, output and impact; support staff in the move from practice and teaching to research and innovation through engagement in pedagogical projects; support all staff in the delivery of pedagogical projects and events; showcase good pedagogy practice across and beyond the institution – particularly around ‘Doing it for Real’ and in preparation for KEF; validate pedagogy within the institution and value staff contributions in teaching and learning, student experience and attainment.

    The key questions we address are:

    • How can pedagogy (re)assert its value in a neo-liberal, market and metric driven higher education sector?
    • What will the future of pedagogy in higher education look like and how can technological and structural challenges be met while protecting education as a social good?
    • How can innovative and radical pedagogies drive thinking in terms of communicating ideas, amplifying voices and addressing societal challenges in the academy and beyond?
    • How can universities prepare students for life in an ever-more precarious global climate?
    • What does a pedagogy look like that responds to the spaces and places of its locale, using Cornwall as the site and stimulus of activity?
    • What are the roles and functions of pedagogy in a climate emergency?
