Karen M. Lauridsen, keynote on Teaching in the globalised university

Karen M. Lauridsen, Associate professor at Aarhus University, Centre for Teaching and Learning, Aarhus in Denmark. Lauridsen was keynote speaker at the Teachers' Conference2018 - being a university teacher in an ever-changing world. Keynote: Teaching in the globalised university — How do we face the challenges of the multicultural classroom?

This keynote addresses the questions of how we as lecturers can facilitate the learning of diverse student cohorts, and of how this diversity may affect the quality of our study programmes. How can we make the diversity work to the benefit of all students? And what do we do when it turns out not to work out quite so well? Based on the results of recent research and development projects in this field, Karen M. Lauridsen focuses on the responsibility of the university, the academic staff and the students. In addition, she offers some reflection points as well as some good practice principles that may serve as the point of departure for individual lecturers’ development of their own teaching.
Recorded on February 8, 2018 at Stockholm University.
