HEA Social Sciences Conference: Ways of Knowing, Ways of Learning.

Liverpool, 28th and 29th May 2012.

This conference will provide the opportunity for the Social Science Community to come together to address the concerns and issues being generated by current developments to teaching and learning in the HE sector. To respond to these changes, and to improve the student experience on offer, the community needs to have an understanding of what constitutes effective practice in the Social Sciences, in terms of the diverse ways in which our students learn and apply that learning within the context of their everyday lives.

Keynote speakers:
Professor Malcolm Tight, Professor in Higher Education, University of Lancaster
Professor Diana Laurillard, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education
