Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Ed
Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Teaching ‘… an admirable testament to UCL’s ambition to foster innovative, evidence-based and thoughtful approaches to teaching and learning. There is much to learn from here.’— Professor Karen O’Brien, Head of the Humanities Division, University of Oxford ‘Research and teaching’ is a typical response to the question, ‘What are universities for?’ For most people, one comes to mind more quickly than the other. Most undergraduate students will think of teaching, while PhD students will think of research. University staff will have similarly varied reactions depending on their roles. Emphasis on one or the other has also changed over time according to governmental incentives and pressure. Davies and Norbert Pachler ed. Jason P. For some decades, higher education has been bringing the two closer together, to the point of them overlapping, by treating students as partners and nding ways of having them learn through undertaking research. Drawing on a range of examples from across the disciplines, this collection demonstrates how one research-rich university, University College London (UCL), has set up initiatives to raise the pro le of teaching and give it parity with research. It explains what staff and students have done to create an environment in which students can learn by discovery, through research- based education. ‘… an exemplary text of its kind, offering much to dwell on to all interested in advancing university education.’— Ronald Barnett, Emeritus Professor of Higher Education, University College London Institute of Education Dr Jason P. Davies is a Senior Teaching Fellow at the UCL Arena Centre. -

From non-communicable diseases, energy and structural inequalities, the Grand Challenges initiative itself and its funded projects have shone a light on the critical importance of cross-disciplinary perspectives and expertise in effectively addressing challenges from the local to the global level. More recently, the importance of this approach has been made clear by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the need to include a broad range of expertise in decision-making highlighted as the only effective way forward.

The Mayor Recognises That Street
Planning for Markets: Understanding the role of planning policy and management approaches in sustaining markets in London Rosita Aiesha Bartlett School of Planning University College London (UCL) MPhil Town Planning 1 I, Rosita Aiesha, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ………………………………….. 2 Abstract Over the last decade, there has been a growing interest amongst policy makers in the market’s potential role in contributing to solutions in key social and economic public policy agendas. In particular, Planning Policy Statement 6: Planning for Town Centres suggests that markets have a role to play in revitalising town centres and offering retail choice. To date, very little is known about the contemporary relevance of markets and specifically why markets have been prioritised in retail planning policy and received public policy interest. This paper investigates these issues further. Through a literature review, it develops a conceptual and contextual framework for understanding markets. It then draws on empirical research, i.e. survey and interview data from a study of London boroughs and a case study of one London Local Authority (Camden), to highlight the effects of current day-to-day management and planning approaches in sustaining markets. The research demonstrates that the contemporary role of the market is multidimensional, e.g. they appear to play significant roles as managed public space but also act as an important social and economic space, particularly for marginal social groups. Moreover, the empirical evidence shows that, whilst proactive planning policies do not guarantee a vibrant market, they can play a key part in protecting their permanent loss; however, equally important is the supportive management approaches taken in shaping their social survival. -
Are Hijabs Really a Statement of Your School's Values and Ethos?
Are hijabs really a statement of your school’s values and ethos? By Elaine Chambers I recently went on a tour of a new academy school in my area, the UCL Academy in Swiss Cottage. It is sponsored by University College London, a specifically secular university. After the visit, I wrote to the head teacher – and this is the correspondence that resulted. Dear Mr Street, Re: UCL Academy Swiss Cottage Thank you for meeting the local community and showing us around a really magnificent state of the art school. We missed out the library, perhaps this can be viewed next time? There is however a matter about which I felt somewhat queasy, especially as your building, its staff, and its ethos is determined to look to the future. The point I brought up could not be dealt with at this public meeting because it was regarded as somewhat sensitive, and the word 'political' was expressed in a manner that was once reserved for sexual matters. So, I have confined my concern to electronic print in the hope that it will be given serious thought, and respectfully, a comprehensive response. My concern does involve matters of sexuality, or more precisely gender. It is political. It is of major political importance worldwide, as well as locally, that we address gender prejudice and violence in this, the 21st century. We need to confront, with a morality that reflects a humane determination, the horrific record of violence against women and girls carried out in the self-interest of so called patriarchal 'needs'; most noticeably upheld by religions. -
