Dr Alice Feldman wins 2010/11 College Teaching Award
"Good teachers impart good education. Great teachers groom their students to become leaders. Ordinary teachers direct us along the right path, but great teachers inspire us to seek our own path. They encourage us to discover our talents." Anatole France
Dr Alice Feldman is a lecturer in Sociology and co-Director of the Migration and Citizenship Research Initiative. She has played a key role in the introduction of active learning to the school’s methods curriculum, which has contributed to increased seminar attendance, assessment outcomes and student retention.
Her teaching innovations are research-led, drawing on 10 years of experience using participative and arts-based methods. Combining the constructivist paradigms used in both teaching and research she exploits the expressive, explanatory and reflexive potential of qualitative methods as pedagogical vehicles in the contexts of collaborative projects, thereby using creativity to cultivate a spirit of inquiry relevant to students’ personal and professional lives. This work has also contributed to the publication of teaching scholarship and development of Erasmus graduate programmes in the area of migration, highlighting the ways in which teaching and research innovations can be mutually reinforcing.
