| Speakers & Topics: | 1. What does ‘belonging to university’ mean? Dr. Liz Bradbury, Senior Lecturer Sociology, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts, Humanities, Education and Social Sciences, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, United Kingdom Abstract: This presentation will discuss key findings of my EDI-related research projects with ARU students which explored their experiences of ‘belonging’ to university. The findings of these projects are consistent with wider research in pointing to the vital importance for all students’ social and psychological wellbeing, and good educational outcomes of universities creating more inclusive and better pathways to belonging. I will conclude on a more speculative note by pointing to some wider implications for the future sustainability of the UK HEI sector of work to build belonging, by contrasting current university cultures of scarcity to emergent ‘cultures of abundance’. 2. Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) in University General Education Course Dr. Jasmine Yang, Lecturer, Office of University General Education, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong; Mr. Fung Tin Yau Philip, PASS Leader, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong; Mr. So Ching Elvin, PASS Leader, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Abstract: PASS has been integrated into CUHK General Education Foundation Programme courses for more than a decade and is an important supplement to teacher’s regular tutorials and lectures. Students feel more included and valued in PASS, which leads to more active learning and better academic performance. In this presentation, two medical students who have served as PASS leaders for the University General Education course in Dialogue with Nature will be invited to share their peer-assisted learning experiences and reflections. We will explore how PASS takes into account students’ individual differences and meets their diverse learning needs. What are the main challenges faced by PASS leaders? What support should teachers provide for them? |
