09:30-14:00
The Scottish Literature and Culture Network invites you to an online workshop focused on mutual exchange, offering practical insights and strategies for teaching Scottish literature and culture. Our aim is to create an open, informal, and collaborative environment where participants can share their experiences, discuss challenges, and explore creative methods. By drawing directly from participants' own seminar practices, we hope to generate practical solutions and develop ideas. The workshop will address difficulties such as challenges related to language barriers, varying levels of students' prior knowledge, and limited access to both primary and secondary material. We will also host guest speakers to discuss integrating museum and archive collections into research-led teaching, focusing on heritage interpretation, storytelling, material cultures, and Scotland's role in Britain's imperial project.
If you would like to take part, please send an email to Julia Boll (j.boll@uni-konstanz.de).
