Can teamwork skills be assessed fairly in higher education? (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Heinze, A., & Whatley, J. (2009, September). Can teamwork skills be assessed fairly in higher education?. Presented at The aims of the workshop were to: share what is commonly meant by “teamwork” skills; share common issues and challenges in assessment facing educators who utilise team work; propose possible multiple action to resolve the potential challenges., University of Salford, Salford, Greater Manchester

Teamwork is widely acknowledged as an essential skill for students in higher education to prepare them to the real-life team working environments (Lynch, Heinze 2007). But, it is not easy to assess team working skills (Cooper and Heinze 2007). Moreov... Read More about Can teamwork skills be assessed fairly in higher education?.

'Community cohesion’ and the ‘war on terror’ in post-Macpherson UK: the continuation of racial profiling in constructions of dangerous others (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Patel, T., & Tyrer, D. (2009, August). 'Community cohesion’ and the ‘war on terror’ in post-Macpherson UK: the continuation of racial profiling in constructions of dangerous others. Presented at 37th Annual Conference of the European Group for the Study of Deviance and Social Control: Crime, Justice and Control – The Challenge of Recession, University of Central Lancashire, Preston

A critical consideration is given of the problematic construction of crimes as scientifically racialised, in post-MacPherson UK. It is argued that notions of ‘black criminality’ are often reworked in new ways (e.g. moral panics about terrorism, knife...

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.
