Funded through IATL's Student as Producer (Research) scheme, Brotherhood is a documentary which aims to start a conversation addressing the current narrative of the young black man, giving a voice to boys who have not previously been able to share their own narratives. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion about the film and the issues it raises.

Open to all ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ staff members and students, this workshop aims to establish an interdisciplinary discussion between academics and students on the basic ideas of ‘movement’, ‘motion capture’, and the ‘function’ of the human body. It will be informed by the student-focussed IATL Workshop on Movement held on 1 November 2017.

We are now accepting applications for an IATL/IAS (Institute of Advanced ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ) Early Career Teaching Fellowship, which will be to develop interdisciplinary pedagogy. Application deadline: Monday 15 January 2018.

Colleagues from IATL, Student Careers and Skills and the Law School recently received WIHEA funding to bring together information about student research opportunities around the University. An institutional review was conducted and a student research hub on MyÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ was created. The hub covers what research is, the benefits of getting involved, the opportunities available, and will soon be linked to opportunities within departments.

IATL Academic Managers Jo Wale and Caroline Gibson are delighted to have been made WIHEA Fellows for 2017-2020. The role involves working with colleagues university-wide, helping embed good practice in learning and teaching and feeding into strategic projects. Caroline will be leading the WIHEA Internationalisation Learning Circle and would like to hear from other WIHEA Fellows interested in joining the group.

Congratulations to Becky Fisher on her appointment as Departmental Administrator (Research, Finance and Operations) in Sociology, welcome to Hannah Copeland as Academic Projects Manager, and announcing that Elena Riva, one of our Teaching Fellows, is now our Director of Undergraduate Studies.

This symposium/workshop will bring together teaching staff, researchers, practitioners and voluntary sector representatives from ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ and elsewhere, to consider what works in student-community engagement, and how such engagement can best be developed and sustained in ways that benefit HE pedagogy, create knowledge, and have positive social impacts.
