Academic Ambition for Social Justice: the challenges and possibilities of leading authentic change in higher education

Wednesday 19 June 2024 online

Academic ambition for social justice encompasses our commitment to progress Higher Education’s role in creating a fairer, safer and more just society (Watermeyer et al, 2022). Integral to this  ambition is the creation of a more inclusive, democratic and compassionate academy (Buitendijk, 2019). 

Previous conferences

Improving Student Learning annual symposium

In 1993, the first Improving Student Learning Symposium was held at Warwick University in the UK. From then until its end in 2012, it became an established event on the international calendar, with up to 200 participants from over 15 countries at each conference. 

The major aim of the Improving Student Learning Symposia was to provide a forum which brought together those who are primarily researchers into learning in higher education and those who are primarily practitioners concerned more pragmatically with improving their practice, but from whichever starting point, papers were only accepted if they take a sufficiently scholarly, research-based approach.
