In 2020, the pandemic prompted us to think about how we could be be resilient, responsive and relevant in a shifting Higher Education (HE) context. This thinking is at the heart of discussions that will take place during the 2021 HELTASA (Un)conference between 6 and 10 December 2021.
We have opened up our call for proposals at the end of July and encourage you to make a submission based on the conference themes in the scholarly areas of student learning, professional learning, curriculum development, academic development and/or decoloniality. The (Un)conference will give participants the opportunity to present their thoughts and engage with each other in any of the following formats:
- Oral paper (10 mins)
