The University has hosted Europe Week for the last 16 years. This year the event is being widened to Global Week so we can welcome participants from partner universities outside of Europe. It will be a virtual event and take place in the week of 22-26 February 2021.
We cordially invite members of faculty at both our Erasmus+ partners and partners from outside of Europe to take part as a lecturer, a researcher or as both.
Global Week will take the form of a series of lectures and seminars on international and intercultural topics, most of which will be located within taught modules. However, in addition we will offer a number of open lectures to all students on topics likely to be of interest to a wider audience. The event is designed to raise a global perspective and intercultural awareness amongst our students and to encourage them to take up an exchange within their degree.
Participants will be asked to offer 1-3 hours of teaching online in the form of a lecture or seminar on subjects of their choice, with an international, intercultural or a home country perspective. Teaching will take place between 09.00 GMT Monday 22 February and 17.00 GMT Friday 26 February.
In addition, there will be a Research Forum on Thursday 25 February allowing the opportunity for participants to present papers on their research to both faculty at Hertfordshire and faculty from our partners participating in the event.
If this proposal is of interest, please can you confirm:
- the name(s) and email address(es) of staff who will be participating;
- the proposed topics for their lectures and/or seminars;
- the language of teaching if other than English;
- the research topic, if appropriate.
Once we know which topics are being offered, we will be able to match these with our subject areas and interested faculty at Hertfordshire, and let you know on which days and at which times your teaching will take place.
