"It's important for us to understand that without an understanding of the role of humanities, the social sciences and the arts, we will not be able to pivot towards the sort of revolutionary changes in our behaviour, in our technology, in our outlook about what we need to do individually and collectively to create a more sustainable world."...… “one of the conclusions we came to is that science is what’s going to save the world but humanities is why it’s worth saving!”...Thank you for taking time to listen to the podcast.

Andrea’s teaching focus and expertise is with non-medical prescribing. This is where qualified health care professionals undertake an advanced qualification which enable them (nurses, pharmacists and some allied health professionals such as physiotherapists) to prescribe medication. Andrea has been directly involved with this course since 2006. Andrea is enthusiastic about using the virtual learning environment to support a variety of teaching and learning strategies and enable a digital pedagogical approach. She is designing her sessions to be both blended and future proofed if fully online is needed.Andrea is an active researcher in the field of clinical pharmacy/applied health research with a particular focus on prescribing and dementia. “Its’ not ‘one size fits all’! It’s almost like you want to cherry pick techniques and then… that will work, that won’t work! […] Try it, refine it and don’t underestimate time… be open to change and developing your own competence.” Thank you for taking time to listen to the podcast.

27:33||Season 3, Ep. 4This week Catherine and Mike meet Brian Houston, Knowledge Exchange lecturer based in the Aura Innovation Centre, discussing his academic journey through research, teaching and knowledge exchange (KE).Brian is a Mechanical Engineering Knowledge Exchange Lecturer, and Manager of the Aura InventX initiative. As a KE advocate he is passionate about facilitating collaboration through the delivery of multi-disciplinary Research, Development, and Innovation projects; and bringing together the Aura Innovation Centre (AIC) facility and team, academic and technical colleagues from across the University, and external stakeholders over real world innovation challenges. He aims to increase utilisation of, and accessibility to, University Research and Development capabilities; and to combine them with academic expertise to support Knowledge Exchange initiatives, increase research impact, and to encourage progressive education.“The ethos of Knowledge Exchange is integral to both research and education […] whenever I was standing in a lecture theatre projecting to a group of students, you could generally always be confident you were the most knowledgeable in that subject in that room at that particular time. In the Knowledge Exchange domain, I find myself standing in front of public audiences and you just look into the audience, and you could have someone there with 40 years in the industry, an expert in that particular area. At the same time, he is probably there to understand what I know about the subject at that time because he is open minded to be engaging in that way. So I tend to, as a result, go into a conversation humble, expecting to understand the person you are speaking to, before you are expected to be understood... and I think that works for the other domains as well. You need to know what level of understanding of your subject students have.“ You can contact Brian on LinkedIn.InventX brochure Thank you for taking time to listen to the podcast.

Clare is an active qualitative researcher, with an interest in teenage sexual health and pregnancy, women’s health and distance care and enjoys using her experiences as a researcher to inform her teaching practice.“i thought if I could get the students to really think about the assignment, they would start to make some connections about what we learn across the module... [an extra] way of going through an assignment… not just ‘that’s what you are expected to do"... it’s a really important moment when students make it their own assignment… and using pictures to make things just every day where people feel they can be comfortable with the idea.” Assignment burgerThank you for taking time to listen to the podcast.

37:04||Season 3, Ep. 2In this episode, Mike and Catherine meet with Dominic Henri, who splits his time between the University of Hull’s School of Natural Sciences and the Teaching Excellence Academy. Dom is a Senior Lecturer in Zoology whose disciplinary specialism is conservation and ecology, but whose primary focus is Higher Education pedagogy (particularly the interface between assessment, student development, and employability).In the podcast, we discuss the journey behind a published study evidencing one way of raising the visibility of diversity in STEM Higher Education. The journey starts with a conundrum of how to increase perceptions of diversity within the discipline when little of that diversity is represented directly within the teaching team. By the end, we consider how engaging with diversity is not just important for students, but can completely revitalise our own understanding of the subject and the narrative that our students take from our teaching.“What you conclude on a subject holds weight... If you say that something is good or bad or well-evidenced or not, some students are going to remember that... So how can I provide as balanced a perspective on this as possible?” If anyone would like to be part of the future of this project, please contact Dom directly via email.Study reference:Henri, D.C., Coates, K. and Hubbard, K., 2023.
