The Teaching and Scholarship Podcast


The Teaching and Scholarship Podcast is formerly a collaboration between The University of Southampton's Centre for Higher Education Practice (CHEP) and The Faculty of Medicine). Its future is associated with The University of Glasgow and will continue its good work north of the border. It is intended to be of interest to all teaching focused academics in higher education who strive towards teaching excellence and wish to innovate their practice. The podcast aims to promote and raise the profile of teaching excellence within university education.

In our tenth episode we chat to Russell Bentley who is a Professor of Political Theory within Economic, Social and Political Sciences and Deputy Head of School - Education, at the University of Southampton. Russell talks about the continuous need to engage our students through enthusiasm and passion in our teaching and talks very candidly about the need to recognise and reward teaching excellence. Plus, we discuss some of the problems associated with the term 'Teaching Fellow' and how it is a source of much confusion in the academic world.
