Webinar - Identity in Teaching and Learning - Call for Contributions

[Carol Robinson]

Dear Colleagues

Have you got a SoTL project related to identity in teaching and learning?

The ISSOTL Grand Challenges subgroup working on the theme of  how identities affect teaching and learning is excited to be hosting a webinar to bring together colleagues from around the world to better understand how personal experiences, perceptions of self, and demographic characteristics such as gender, race and socio-economic status shape experiences of teaching and learning. 

We're looking for papers (15 mins) or lightning talks (5 mins). The deadline for submission is 12 noon GMT on Monday 17 November and the webinar will be on 29 Jan 2026.

The Call for Contributions is attached and you can find out more about the Grand Challenges Special Interest Group here. 

With best wishes

Carol
