In October 2020, the four faculty based pedagogical centres at Aarhus University were amalgamated as one ‘Centre for Educational Development’. This research-based pedagogical centre is situated to service university faculty in an era when teaching is emerging from a shadowy background. The centre is seeking to find a position to start conversations about teaching and learning with faculty. Its vision is to lead and support faculty to equip students to become critical thinkers, to be collaborative and co-creative and to be able to solve problems to which the answers are unknown. This talk raises the question, what should such a centre do to engage faculty in discussions about teaching and learning for a new and better future?

Title: Making the un-visible matter. Theoretical and methodological reflections on the writing of university jubilee history.
University jubilees generate books – boring books, but frequently very informative about quantitative expansions, important scientific breakthrough, renowned (male) professors and impressive campus.

Second speaker: Dr Astrid Elkjær Sørensen
Title: Gender & Academization
