UKAPA has made £2000 available for public administration scholars (and those studying allied subjects) to participate in a funded teaching exchange programme.
Aim of the programme
The aim of the programme is to support research-led teaching collaborations (substantive or pedagogical) across the UK. It is intended to build and strengthen reciprocal relationships between scholars of public administration (and allied subjects) and the departments / schools in which they work. For example, a member or staff from one institution would deliver/ co-deliver a lecture or seminar at another, and vice-versa, within the same academic year.
Note: The fund is not to be used for replacement teaching. Both lecturers are required to be in the class at the same time.
Exchange staff are encouraged to use this opportunity to:
- Develop further their pedagogic knowledge and exchange teaching ideas.
- Draw on the research experience of a colleague to support the research-led element of a module.
- Develop a mutually aligned research interest.
- Explore the possibility of online/in person collaborative student workshops focusing on crosscutting topics or themes.
Rules
- £500 is the maximum allowance per trip (covering travel, accommodation & subsistence). Please only claim what you need.
- Both institutions must be UKAPA members.
- Each visiting lecturer will deliver a lecture / co-led lecture or co-lead a seminar based on their own area of expertise (substantive or pedagogical).
- Applications will be assessed on the basis of expected mutual learning/ collaboration; plans for a joint piece of research or pedagogic initiative; plans for a joint funding application.
AND
If all else is equal, we will consider the following:
a) extent of mentoring element in the exchange;
b) proximity of the lecture topic to the subdiscipline of public administration. - The selection panel will be chaired by one of the two vice chairs for teaching and learning and will include UAKPA’s chair and at least one other UKAPA Executive member.
- Successful applicants will be required to confirm that the exchange has taken place and submit a short report.
