Research @ WCLA
The WCLA Team continue to impress with diverse and fascinating research and scholarship, so we thought we’d take the opportunity to bring you an overview of what’s going on in the team. If you look closely, you’ll recognise some familiar names within the faculty who have been collaborating with the team; a reminder that there are countless research and publishing opportunities where your discipline intersects with the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoLT). If you’re interested in exploring these opportunities, reach out to the Centre to discuss.
