Reflection Series: Connections and Adaptations Online

This episode accompanies our "EUSA Teaching Awards 2021 Podcast Series". In this episode, Grace, a final-year Religious Studies Student, sits down with Judy Harley, Dean of Learning and Teaching for the College of Science and Engineering, and Elizabeth Bomberg, a Professor of Environmental Politics at the School of Social and Political Science, to discuss their nominations for the Edinburgh Teaching Awards. Judy, Elizabeth, and Grace entertain thought-provoking questions in their reflection. Have we changed our approach for this year? Is there a typical day in academia, online or in-person? What aspects of our old routines have we surprisingly missed? And of course, what will we be taking forward from this year?  In fluid conversation, Judy and Elizabeth bounce between relatable anecdotes from the past year and helpful insights.  They connect over the themes of connection and engagement while discussing the ways they've prioritized these themes in the online world. We hope you enjoy their conversation and continue your personal reflections as we inch closer to the next academic year.
