In memory of former Head of Department of Media, Communications and Cultural Studies John Beacham (1948-2004) we present the fifth annual teaching conference in his memory to recognise the influence of his mentoring, standard setting, and the development of teaching quality during his career at Goldsmiths.
Every year the conference in his name will provide sessions, materials, discussions and advice on best teaching practices, techniques and cultures in higher education and beyond.
The theme for the fifth conference is The Ethics of Teaching In Higher Education. The day is also recognised as part of Goldsmiths’ Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (accredited by both Goldsmiths and the Higher Education Academy).
