Beyond Safety in Teaching and Learning
The MSc CAMH team, along with an employed researcher, will explore students’ experiences of ‘safety’ within the classroom-with a particular emphasis on the teaching and learning environment when teaching challenging, sensitive and contested topics. The project is building on a pilot which involved online focus groups with staff and students. Using focus groups to explore students’ and staff experiences, a workbook will be co-designed with students to directly inform practice within the University of Northampton and wider.
