This workshop, organised by the Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Philosophical and Religious Studies, will explore issues involved in the teaching of religions of South Asian origin within UK HE. It is aimed at academics teaching Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism or Jainism, and will bring together participants from a range of disciplines, facilitating a conversation between colleagues that will: shed valuable light on the variety of learning and teaching issues facing this diverse group; identify differences and commonalities between the teaching of religions of South Asian origin; and allow us to tailor future Subject Centre provision in this
area.
It will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss the different approaches, issues and challenges involved in teaching these religions, to showcase and share examples of good practice and to network with colleagues teaching these subjects in different institutions and departments.
The workshop will take place at the Manchester Conference Centre and will be provided at no charge to those involved in teaching or studying religions of south Asian origin in UK HE. Lunch and refreshments are included. Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
