Humanities movement, many medical schools now encourage the reading of
literature and the study of art to gain insights into the human condition. A

Staff & Educational Development Association: Examining doctoral candidates
Examiners of doctorates carry at least as much responsibility as supervisors. Yet few have had any serious preparation for the job. Criteria for success in a doctorate are unclear and there are no standard procedures for the conduct of vivas. So it is not surprising that increasingly doctoral candidates are challenging decisions, most often on the grounds of how they were made.
Such examinations are 'one-off' and infrequent activities for both parties. In contrast, in medical education at all levels, especially post-graduate, oral examinations are an embedded tradition, and serious attempts have been made in that field t...

Academic identities for the 21st century
The 2nd International Conference focusing on Academic Identities
Can we re-imagine academic life? A cursory glance at the British higher education trade press gives us headlines bemoaning standards, worries over global and institutional competitiveness, and concerns about practices from marking to contact hours. Despite long-cherished notions of academic freedom and autonomy, all would seem to be doom and gloom. How, in what appear to be such depressing circumstances, can we construct meaningful, positive academic identities?

Henslow, who inspired his pupil Charles Darwin with a love of natural science, recognised the need to study plants in their own right. He was convinced that trees were the most important plants in the world and these form the framework of the Garden. With a framework of mature trees and shrubs, this paradise of plant...

We are approaching a watershed moment in human history, when the number of people over 65 in the USA will surpass the number of children under 15. By the time our children reach old age, living to 100 will be commonplace. Life expectancy increased so quickly that culture has not had time to catch up. But rest assured, these demographic changes will change virtually all aspects of life - education, families, financial markets and politics. To the extent that people arrive at old age mentally sharp, physically fit, and financially secure, long-lived societies will thrive. But as Matilda White Riley so eloquently argued there...
