Book tickets for our 2024 conference!
We are super excited to announce that you can now book your tickets to our 2024 conference! Taking place on 10 July in the Merchant Venturer’s Building, our conference title is ‘Voice and choice: student agency, empowerment and co-creation’, covering a wide-spectrum of pedagogies and practices.
This is a full day event, with four parallel sessions, a poster gallery and, new for this year, a Teaching and Learning Gallery – showcasing the work BILT have developed this year.
Refreshments and lunch are included.
Staff can choose from morning only, afternoon only or all day, during enrolment. We’re also bringing back our popular ‘Randomised Coffee’ pre-event.
More information and the full day’s programme is available on our event page.
Staff can register via Develop. Students register here.
If you pre-registered with us last month, there is no need to register again. We will be in touch soon with more details.

Libraries and Decolonisation: an introduction for academic staff
Thursday 6 June 2024: 9:30 am – 10:30 am
Decolonisation is shaping and influencing how the University views itself and how it delivers programmes and services. As a central service, the Library plays an important role in this area. In this session for academic staff we aim to explore some of the connections between libraries and colonial power, discuss how information resources have the potential to be a key part in decolonial practice, and share practical tips for finding resources from under-represented communities and regions.
