I attended the Hepi webinar on 6 November 2023 looking at the UK policy dimensions of the relationship between research and teaching in UK Universities. The recording is available on Youtube.
The main speaker was Professor Dame Nicola Dandridge of Bristol University who was presenting her report on the subject (published by Hepi) The relationship between teaching and research in UK Universities – What is it and does it matter?
My perspective is that of a University teacher. The webinar gave hints as to how, on this question, national policy debates reflect questions that go to the very heart of the inner life of the university, a collection of knowledge-building communities that is also responsible for inducting newcomers into the university and into disciplines.

I contributed a commentary to a collective article in Studies in Technology Enhanced Learning. The article is called ‘Technology and educational “pivoting” in the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic: A collected commentary’ (available here). My contribution, section 7 (‘Going digital: Developing a strategy for pivoting to greater use of technology in higher education’) is an account of some of the key lessons learned so far from the interviews in our Going Digital project.

I have just published the first (of a planned sequence of three) blog posts about applying King Beach’s Consequential transitions theory to undergraduate legal education.
The link is here.
This post looks at the theory; I look at its essential features and explain why I think it helps educators (and administrators) to ask the right questions about the meaning of education and what educators can do to support students.
The next post will focus on practice implications and I plan a third post on how I imagine using the theory in education research projects.
