Deadline 1st May: Building Other Forms of Communicating the Academy Final Workshop Proposals
BOCA invites Leiden teaching staff and students to a final workshop on Friday May 23rd at Leiden University in The Hague to explore core questions to the project and our academic practice regarding effective ways of communicating knowledge. If you are interested, please send us your proposed contribution (approximately 300 words) along three to four lines about you to boca@hum.leidenuniv.nl by Thursday, May 1st 2025.
Three broad questions inspire the workshop:
-
What problems do we face to communicate academic knowledge (within and beyond the university)?
-
What alternative forms of communicating scholarship can contribute to enhance the university's role as a force for societal change?
-
What alternative forms of knowledge production, dissemination, teaching exist already in our teaching and research practices (e.g. performative and experiential forms of knowledge, such as multilingual and embodied approaches)?
This workshop aims to provide a space for collective thinking and an opportunity to exchange experiences, ideas and expectations for more vital forms of communicating in the academy. We invite teaching colleagues, PhD candidates and postdocs, and students to share their experiences and ideas in the final BOCA Workshop. If you are interested, please send us your proposed contribution (approximately 300 words) along three four lines about you to boca@hum.leidenuniv.nl by Thursday, May 1st 2025.
The Workshop takes place on Friday May 23rd at Leiden University in The Hague.
