Going Further with Higher Education: Developing higher-level learning and teaching at Kingston College
The seminar explored the principles and objectives contained in Kingston College’s new Higher Education learning and teaching strategy. It reviewed the drivers for change within the HE in FE landscape, the aspirations the College has for both its HE learners and teachers, and the stages it went through in the collaborative development of the strategy itself.
In particular, Andrews discussed the outcomes of a number of recent e-learning projects, run in partnership with Kingston University, which shed light on causes and consequences of educational change within the College’s HE environment.

Penny Jane Burke, Roehampton University
Widening Participation: Identity, Difference and In/Equality
This seminar examined the complex politics of identity at play in higher educational fields and the ways these shape struggles over access and participation in relation to difference and processes of mis/recognition. Based on data from recent research the Penny Jane Burke interrogated the underpinning values, perspectives and meanings that shape current policy discourses and practices of widening participation (WP) in higher education. She also discussed how these competing discourses construct student identities in relation to social inequalities of age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender and race.
