Teaching Seminars (Arts, Humanities, & Social Sciences)

New

This workshop focuses on the basics of teaching and facilitating seminars in the Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. It is ideal for participants with little to no seminar teaching experience.  

You will learn how to structure a seminar, harnessing an array of design methods, thought-provoking questioning techniques and effective communication skills, and the importance of reflective practice. Likewise, you will learn how to surmount challenges associated with engagement, including with seminar-related reading materials and any other pre-sessional work.  

By the end of this workshop, you will have heightened confidence in designing and delivering compelling seminars that rely on pedagogical principles for creating an inclusive, engaging and cooperative learning space.  

This workshop aligns with D1 and A1 & A2 of the HEAs Professional Standards Framework (PSF), I.e., with the ‘Associate Fellow’ level. This workshop does not result in recognition or a qualification but can be considered as part of an application. 

This course is for PhD Students in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences.

Please note: this course is particularly useful for students preparing to deliver their first seminar and/or workshop, but all are welcome.
