QUALITY CONTROLS? QUALITY CONTROLS?
ANTHROPOLOGY AND THE POLITICS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
A CONFERENCE OF THE NATIONAL NETWORK FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING ANTHROPOLOGY
University College London
Friday 12th - Saturday 13th November 1999
- What are the latest teaching and learning developments initiated by anthropologists?
- What are the latest proposed changes to Higher Education policy?
- How are the new 'quality control' institutions likely to affect anthropology?
- Are innovations in teaching equally part of this politics?
- Can we use our anthropological skills to respond critically to these developments?
This final conference of the National Network will provide a chance to share experiences and reflect on these changes. As well as academic panels and small group discussions, there will be the chance to experience new and alternative ways of teaching and learning, and to review and assess the National Network itself. Papers from faculty and students will reflect on these themes:
- 'Empowerment' and cultures of learning in Anthropology.
- The changing political economy of Higher Education.
- The politics of 'Innovation' and change.
- 'Audit' culture and reflexivity.
- 'Quality'.
Offers of contributions to Sue Wright (S.A.Wright@bham.ac.uk), Department of Cultural Studies and Sociology, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT.
