\"steve<\/a>Welcome to the first ERDP newsletter of the new academic year.\u00a0 As you receive this our new cohorts of students are already with us and the academic year is well underway.\u00a0 This newsletter is both looking back and looking forwards.\u00a0 So, we have a number of reports from meetings that we have attended over the summer telling our colleagues from outside Newcastle about the interesting and innovative work going on in Newcastle.\u00a0 The newsletter also contains details of our programme of events throughout the year.\u00a0 In addition to our regular Journal Club and seminar programmes we add two new series of events this year.\u00a0 Jane Stewart is running both of these.\u00a0 Her series \u201cWhat do I mean when I say\u201d is designed to stimulate debate about contested issues in learning and teaching.\u00a0 Two of these sessions have taken place so far, both have been well-attended and both have given rise to some lively discussion.\u00a0 Her lunchtime workshops are designed to support you in your teaching.\u00a0\u00a0 Our seminar programme this year will start with two speakers from outside the Faculty.\u00a0 In November Pauline Kneale PVC(T) in Plymouth will be visiting and talking to us about pedagogic research.\u00a0 In December the new Head of School in ECLS, Caroline Walker-Gleaves will talk to us about her recent work on pedagogic caring within HE.\u00a0 Both seminars will stimulate and challenge our thinking so do come along.\u00a0 I still have dates free for seminars later in the year so if there is anybody you would like us to invite then please let me k now.\u00a0 Organisation of the Journal Club has now been taken over by Luisa Wakeling and the programme for the year has now been arranged.\u00a0\u00a0 Our events programmes are consistently well-attended so to those who have been regular attendees welcome back and if you have not been able to attend many, or any, of our events do come and join us.
\nOur ERDP small grants programme continues this year and we are announcing the submission dates for the full year so that people can are better to plan should they have a project that they would like us to support.\u00a0 Remember too that support can be requested for short Study Visits to other institutions.\u00a0 We are keen to encourage applications for this purpose.\u00a0 If you have an idea for a Study Visit but would like to discuss it first then please get in touch.\u00a0 Our small grants programme has been running for 18months so our Learning and Teaching forum in November will focus on our projects.\u00a0 We will be contacting previous grant awardees to invite them to speak at this event but if you have preliminary outcomes that you would like to disseminate then do contact either myself or Sarah Harvey.
\nI look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at our events during the course of the year and to sharing ideas about learning and teaching. If you have articles for the next issue due in\u00a0December just send them through to\u00a0 fms.educational.research@newcastle.ac.uk<\/span><\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n
