Add your own review!

Overview

In recent years interest in schools outreach and academic enrichment has increased dramatically, reflecting a greater social conscience and awareness of the impact that universities can have on the wider community. The transferable skills that academics bring to schools need to be honed for this new learning environment, as delivery methods and success benchmarks are radically different in a schools context. This collection addresses the numerous issues raised when arts and humanities academics become involved with schools, bringing together practitioners from a broad range of fields within the arts and humanities to share experiences and insights.

Reviews

'The University in Translation raises questions about the purposes of higher education that in the current climate we all too easily forget; I commend it as a notable and original contribution to Higher Education studies, a field that is seriously bereft of such serious scholarship.' Michael Young, Emeritus Professor, University of London, Institute of Education, UK
