Warren, Digby (2022) Foreward. Investigations in university teaching and learning, 13. pp. 1-2. ISSN 1740-5106
In this foreword, Digby Warren, Head of Educational Development at London Metropolitan University, endorses a Special Issue of Investigations, the University’s pedagogical publication. This issue celebrates the innovative and evaluated educational practices of dedicated teachers and learning developers, edited by Tom Burns and Sandra Sinfield. Warren highlights the University’s proud history of widening access to higher education and its commitment to education for social justice (ESJ). He references his 2020 study on the influence of teachers’ values on curriculum and pedagogy, emphasizing core values such as inclusivity, social justice, and critical thinking.
Warren discusses the launch of the Education for Social Justice Framework (ESJF) in 2020, which aligns curricula and practice with principles of equity and addresses the challenges facing London and its communities. The ESJF aims to provide education that empowers diverse students, eliminates differential outcomes, and ensures fair outcomes for all. Key principles for ESJ pedagogy include ethical teaching, creating inclusive learning spaces, incorporating students’ experiences, exploring diverse perspectives, and developing reflective assessment strategies.
This volume showcases articles that exemplify these pedagogical principles in action, contributing to the ongoing mission of transforming lives through the power of education
