An interdisciplinary event exploring peripatetic practices in teaching in Higher Education through on-the-ground experiences.
The day will include six parallel walks or outings around Central London designed and facilitated by academics and teaching staff who use walking or other mobile methods as a form of pedagogy. Event participants will experience these walks or outings as students might, using them to spark conversations about the uses (and challenges) of using walking and other mobile methods in teaching.
