Summary

In the latest episode of LITE Bites, Robert Averies is joined by Andrew Kirton (Philosophy) to reflect on his recently completed LITE Fellowship: 'Removing dominance and gatekeeping in higher education'. Andrew's research set out to explore how academic standards and disciplinary norms might be 'opened up', challenged, and owned by students - rather than imposed upon them. He reflects on his Fellowship journey, the role of philosophy in pedagogical inquiry, and the lesser explored relationship between higher education and learning to drive!
