A global curriculum? Education explored with student co-researchers

Dr Julie Wintrup, Principal Teaching Fellow in the Centre for Innovation and Leadership in Health Sciences, will be delivering a seminar on the practical, ethical and methodological implications of co-researching with undergraduate and postgraduate students, on Wednesday 18 May from 12:30 – 14:00 in Building 27, Room 1133.

Fielding, in 2001, spoke of students as radical agents of change. In this session she argues that, if such agency is to be realised in relation to education programmes at Southampton, conditions and opportunities must be created by those who currently develop and control curricula.

Two projects, connected in different ways to this ambition and to the organisation’s goal of globally relevant and inclusive education, involved students working as part of a team to determine questions and methods through which to explore aspects of their own education.

Early findings from both projects will be interwoven throughout the session and used to illustrate key points.

The seminar will include a light lunch, which will be served from 12:30- 13:00. The seminar will take place from 13:00 – 14:00.
