Lectures and seminars Bites of Learning: From Research to Teaching - Exploring Arts-Based Methods for Knowledge and Transdisciplinary Learning
Welcome to an inspiring webinar with Camilla Audia. Discover how arts-based and participatory methods can enrich both research and teaching when addressing complex challenges such as climate mobility, housing precarity, health equity, and disaster governance. Drawing on research in London and Accra, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, Camilla explores how methods used to generate knowledge in the field can also create engaging, transdisciplinary learning experiences.
Welcome to Bites of Learning!
This session aims to
- Show how arts-based methods function as knowledge-production tools in real research contexts, using the PATH project as a case study.
- Demonstrate how those same methods translate into teaching practice, and why that translation is pedagogically powerful.
- Try one concrete activity with participants.
- Open a dialogue about arts-based methods across research and education for transdisciplinarity.
Target audience
Educators, researchers and educational developers working in health professions education, public health, global health, sustainability and related fields. No prior knowledge of arts-based methods required.
Why should a person attend?
The gap between how we do research and how we teach is often larger than it needs to be. When you are researching problems that have no single correct answer, the methods that generate the best knowledge in the field (listening across different knowledges, surfacing lived experience, holding multiple perspectives simultaneously) are also the methods that generate the best learning in the classroom. This session offers a look at that connection in practice, with a researcher who uses the same toolkit in both settings and can speak honestly about what works and what does not.
Speaker
Camilla Audia is Assistant Professor in Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick. Her research focuses on climate adaptation, health equity and epistemic justice, with fieldwork across South East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa and the UK. She is holds multiple active grants on adaptation, climate resilience and heat-health nexus. At Warwick, she convenes modules on health and sustainable development and disaster governance, integrating participatory and arts-based methods directly into her teaching.
Moderator
