Keynote
Associate Professor Kathryn Sutherland from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand was the Keynote speaker at the 2019 Learning and Teaching Forum. Her presentation Changing Contexts and People in Higher Education: Holism and Akoranga, challenged different ways of being, teaching, learning, researching and working in universities, underpinned by research on holistic academic development and ‘akoranga’, the reciprocity of teaching and learning. Read more in Kathryn's Q&A, where she talks more about the changing landscape of higher education and some of the key themes from her keynote presentation.
Kathryn’s research and practice has three main areas of focus: the experiences of early career academics; holistic academic development; and working in partnership with students to improve teaching and learning. She is a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a co-editor of the International Journal for Academic Development. Read more about Kathryn here
