REC Ref No:  FHSS 2024-083

This British Academy funded project investigates contemporary dominant discourses of higher education and academics’ experiences of teaching in the current context. The aims are to 1.) explore the impact of discourses relating to universities, staff and students, with a specific focus on humanities and social science subject areas; 2.) to explore staff and student perceptions and identify any impacts on pedagogical relationships; 3.) to identify implications for teaching practice and to make recommendations for action and further research.

Those currently teaching in the UK in Humanities and Social Sciences can participate through an anonymous online survey by clicking the following link, answering the questions and submitting your responses: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/teachingtimesstaff

You can also take part in an interview with the Principal Investigator Dr Charlotte Morris from the University of Portsmouth. If you would like further information and / or decide you would like to participate, please reply via email: charlotte.morris@port.ac.uk
