Pedagogy as success and failure: what happens when teaching doesn't always look like learning? DTL Teaching Forum with Professor Naomi Head - Staff and PGR Students of International Relations Only

Within the context of the increasing pressures of teaching evaluations and metrics of success, how do we make sense of what goes on under the surface in our classrooms? This forum seeks to open up a conversation about failure, discomfort, barriers to learning, and non-linear learning, recognising that learning happens in many forms and on different timescales.

Naomi Head is Professor of International Relations at the University of Glasgow and her research and teaching focuses on narratives of conflict, the politics of empathy and emotions in war and conflict, and conflict transformation. Her research has engaged with conflict in the Balkans, Israel-Palestine, the Iranian nuclear negotiations, and the coalition wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Naomi has a longstanding interest in mediation, communication, and forms of non-violence and is an Associate Practitioner with the Centre for Good Relations in Scotland.

This event is only open to Staff and PGR Students of International Relations Only.
