We promise an interactive, engaging and thought-provoking event as well as the opportunity for a collective 'sigh' as we come to the end of a tumultuous 2020 that has impacted our sector in a multitude of ways.
Across the two-days we will consider:
In the spirit of Q & A, our symposium will feature 4 panel sessions. Each will be hosted by experts, friends and champions of equity in higher education.
The Chairs of each panel are below, but we are offering the opportunity for expressions of interest to fill the remaining panel positions. To be considered, you will need to pitch for a place on your preferred panel topic (details on how to submit below).
Our live audience (YOU) can post questions in advance for our panel to discuss, debate and offer insight on how we can navigate the political, economic and social realms impacting higher education.
Be part of a panel:
Have something to say about any of the panel topics or want to share your relevant expertise? Submit your pitch to sit on one of the panels and take an active part in the conversation.
Submit a 3-minute thesis style presentation:
As part of the symposium, Enabling educators and practitioners are encouraged to record a 3-minute thesis style video sharing your teaching tips, tricks, hacks and revelations learnt this year due to COVID-19. This will take the place of a traditional 'live' conference style presentation.
The videos will be shared across the 2-day symposium with the ability for participants to comment and contact the authors with any questions.
Details on how to submit can be found on the submissions page.
