HEFi Reading Group: June

The Reading Group is organised and hosted by the Educational Development Team at the University of Birmingham’s Higher Education Futures Institute (HEFi). It meets regularly to discuss texts relating to a wide range of topics on academic practice. It is a space away from our routine where we can explore these topics and argue, agree or disagree, but ultimately think about our work in a scholarly and evidence-based way.

The Reading Group is intended to engage and support those involved in professional development, such as the PGCHE, IAP and Beacon Professional Recognition programmes offered by our team. It is also open to anyone interested in a deeper exploration of various dimensions of HE practice.  It is a safe space away from the routine of emails and day-to-day work where we read, think and reflect on key issues in higher education, and consider their relevance to our work.
