Changing practice in HE: National policies, enhancement cultures and personal impetus (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Saunders, M. (2009, September). Changing practice in HE: National policies, enhancement cultures and personal impetus. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment Conference : Critical Voices, Critical Times, University of Salford

Drawing on recent evaluative research on the change process in Higher Education, the presentation will examine the way in which change processes unfold sector wide and within institutions. The idea of levels can be understood as an implementation st... Read More about Changing practice in HE: National policies, enhancement cultures and personal impetus.

Pushing the boundaries: Critical research in Higher Education (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Clegg, S. (2009, September). Pushing the boundaries: Critical research in Higher Education. Presented at Education in a Changing Environment Conference : Critical Voices, Critical Times, University of Salford

In her keynote Sue Clegg will argue that we need to ask critical questions about how we think about higher education. We need to debate how we, as practitioners, respond to the changing expectations of students, and government reshaping of the purp...

Design should be managed as a physical process, too (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Ballard, G., & Koskela, L. (2009, August). Design should be managed as a physical process, too. Presented at International Conference on Engineering Design, ICED'09, Stanford, CA, USA

The mainstream stand in textbooks on design and design and management is that design is a problem solving process, starting from the perceived problem and ending with a detailed solution. We contend that these accounts overlook one necessary and impo... Read More about Design should be managed as a physical process, too.
