Scholarship Network -
UoM Teaching and Scholarship Network
If you are interested in developing your teaching and scholarship practice and connecting with like-minded colleagues across the University of Manchester this network is for you.
Around a quarter of our colleagues are teaching and scholarship and we want to create a space for all those interested in developing teaching and scholarship to belong in a UoM Teaching and Scholarship Network.
This will be led by Hannah Cobb and Jenni Rose as well as a steering group from across the university including Eleanor Aspey, Helen Baxter, Elaine Clark, Duncan Hull, Karen Lander, Jen McBride, Rachel Parker-Strak, Thomas Rodgers Reimala Sivalingam, Rachel Studd, Lisa Taylor and Nick Weise.
We aim to foster a supportive community, and offer space to share challenges. Join us for a range of events (both in-person and online), connect with fellow educators through our dedicated email list, and contribute to shaping the future of teaching excellence at UoM. Whether you're a teaching and scholarship expert or just starting out our the Teaching and Scholarship Network welcomes you.
