It is a word we don’t often think about, although we use it a lot.

Yet, “assumptions” are powerful drivers of how we think, feel and act!

Most often we take our assumptions for granted.

Yet all great scholars (researchers and teachers alike) know the value and importance of (re)examining our current taken for granted assumptions as a way to open up deeper understandings and explanations of why things work and why things don’t work.

Please join us in this engaging and interactive Teaching & Learning Roundtable and hear how three of our accomplished scholars leverage off and challenge the assumptions of their fields to advance what we already know, don’t know and need to know.

This activity is co-organized by Community of Practice (CoP) on Developing, Recognising and Rewarding Excellent Teaching and EDC.
