This Higher Education Academy conference aims to celebrate the Arts and Humanities in higher education and to highlight and share the many creative and innovative ways in which Arts and Humanities courses, and those who teach and study them, are meeting the serious and complex challenges that confront them. The Higher Education Academy (HEA) uses expertise and resources to support individual staff, disciplinary and interdisciplinary teams or communities, institutions and HE as a whole to enhance the quality and impact of learning and teaching in higher education. The Pedagogies of Hope and Opportunity conference will provide a platform for the expertise and knowledge found in teaching and learning in the Arts and Humanities, which pushes boundaries and fosters a culture of innovation transforming student learning. The HEA's Arts and Humanities discipline group includes the following subject areas: Archaeology and Classics Area Studies Art and Design Cinematics and Photography Dance, Drama and Music English History Journalism Languages Linguistics Media and Communications Philosophical and Religious Studies Call for Papers: We welcome contributions from all Arts and Humanities cluster disciplines around the following themes: Innovative practice in teaching and learning in the Arts and Humanities Assessment and feedback Internationalisation Employability Retention and success Options for contributions are: 1.
