Dear Hidden Study Cultures attendees,
I am delighted you have chosen to join the workshop on Saturday, Hidden Study Cultures. In the session, I’ll be sharing examples of cultural surprises and collisions as both students and teachers cross from one study culture to another. It would be very interesting if you could bring to the session your thoughts in response to the following question: Have you ever been in a study setting (as learner or teacher) where you thought: I wasn’t expecting that! They do things differently here! What happened and what did you do about it?
We’ll be looking at what can be learnt about our own assumptions and about the ’new’ study culture from these surprises; and discussing how we might learn from and prepare for the unexpected.
Looking forward to talking further about these ideas and meanwhile
sending best wishes, and looking forward to 'meeting' on Saturday.
Jane Spiro
