Exploring Inclusivity in HE through Lego Series Play: Interactive Workshop

Griffiths, Marie; Dixon, Tracy

Abstract

At Salford Business School we have invested in Lego Series Play to foster creativity, imagination, and problem-solving among students and staff and external organisations. This workshop uses these practices to explore gender equity in research, an acknowledged persistent challenge in HE, aligning with the conference theme of ‘Creative approaches to enduring challenges’. The session involves two individual Lego builds and culminates in a collaborative group build, emphasizing storytelling. We invite all with an interest in gender representation in HE research. Key takeaways include reflections form the workshop and the introduction to Lego Serious Play as a creative tool.
