Think Education

In this episode of the International Voices series, Judith and myself are joined by Edward Harcourt, Senior Vice President & Managing Director @QS_Corporate, as we talk about branch campus identity, reputation and evolution.  Edward outlines new ways we should be thinking about internationalisation and sustainability and highlights the need for responsible travel and level headed thinking about the opportunities we explore with international partners. This conversation takes us to the heart of international campus identity and how we view and measure success.

In this episode Judith and I talk to former U.S. Ambassador and Founding Executive Director, Institute for Global Engagement, University of Houston, Michael Pelletier (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-pelletier-b8b8b952/) about travel, integration and supporting diversity in our student populations.  Michael stresses the opportunity to gain humility and empathy through travel and engagement and asks how we can use lessons of travel to help international students integrate.  We talk about the value of travelling abroad and attempting to learn other languages and the age old debate of American and English spelling!

In the second International Voices episode, we talk to Jazreel Goh - Director Malaysia, British Council - about the student learning experience; the role of parents and emerging trends in international higher education.  Jazreel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jazreel-goh-094120b/) talks with passion and engagement about connecting with students and supporting their journey through education and beyond.

In this episode Judith and myself have a fascinating conversation with Andrew Disbury about his academic and professional journey from England, through China and to the wider world. Andrew stresses the need to pay it forward and that we all are part of a community, with the opportunity to learn from each other and seek greater understanding through engagement.

Happy New Year from Christopher Hill and Judith Lamie.  In this short episode we debate past, present and future and introduce a new series of podcasts - to be released over the next few weeks - where we talk to colleagues from around the world and learn from their experiences, perspectives and assessment of the state of international higher education.  Stay tuned for some fascinating episodes!

In this episode Judith and myself discuss traditional and emerging pathways to education and discuss the ways in which students approach and access learning.

In this episode, Judith Lamie and I tackle the subject of community and how a university is shaped by, and in turn shapes, its surroundings.  We discuss our experiences in different countries and how this has informed our current approach and understanding.

In this episode, Judith Lamie and myself are joined by two student contributors - Bevin Anandarajah (University of London in Paris - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bevin-anandarajah-573345136/?originalSubdomain=fr) and Tabby Nawaz (British University in Dubai - @TabbyNawaz) - to our recent book.  We discuss their views to teaching and learning during the pandemic; their approach to writing and their overall experience with publishing the book.  The episode was recorded earlier this year.  

Number 2 in our series about writing a book online and at distance. In this episode we discuss working with contributors and the collaborative element of writing.

This is the first in a series of podcasts charting our journey writing a book during lockdown.  Judith and I discuss the challenges and joys of working together at distance and marvel at how productive we were!

A brief welcome and overview of the Think Education podcast

A conversation about the future of teaching and learning; the moral obligation to provide education; wellbeing and the use of technology

The world has recently shifted to online learning and this has presented both opportunities and challenges. Dr Christopher Hill and Dr Tendai Charles discuss the recent changes to teaching and learning; how to integrate technology in teaching effectively; the role of the teacher today; online assessment; and the next steps for education.

Dr Hill sat down with colleagues from Westminster International University in Tashkent, an established TNE university in Uzbekistan, to discuss the current education sector, recent developments, student experience and the future of international education in Uzbekistan.
