Submit Abstracts for Imagining Radical Inclusivity in Work & Learning
Please submit a 300 word abstract by the 1st of May.

We are inviting participants to give presentations of at least 15 min (5 minute Q&A) with the opportunity to extend these presentations for a paper in the Work Based Learning e-Journal International.

 

To prepare for the day, 300 word abstracts are invited from practitioners and researchers that address the following questions:

• How can work integrated learning be more inclusive for its practitioners and learners?

• What is your experience practising inclusivity as an individual or team?

• What are the challenges for organisations and education - leadership, management, learners?

• What truths can be exposed about unrepresented learners, part-time learners, mature learners, social mobility, with a view to social justice?

• Is there a role for degree apprenticeships in providing radical inclusivity?

 

We suggest the locus of thinking around these issues can be found:

• in practice - teaching pedagogies and syllabuses

• in research - choice of research topic, subjects and approaches, partnering research with students and other stakeholders, decolonising practice

• in the real world of work - with employers, organisations, and apprenticeships

• in policy – government, institutions, and departments, in teams and individually

• in today’s post-Covid context

You can submit via the form below or by email to Paula Nottingham at p.nottingham@mdx.ac.uk
