Talk About Teaching 2026: Engaging our University Community

Talk About Teaching is the annual learning, teaching and student experience conference at York St John University, convened by the Teaching and Learning Enhancement Team (TLE).

This year’s conference theme, “Engaging the University Community”, encourages us to think about the ways in which we engage with students, colleagues and the wider community, both within our immediate departments and contexts, and beyond. We hope that as many members of the YSJ community as possible will participate, from across all Schools, Directorates and services (including early-career staff, postgraduate researchers and professional partners).

Day one of the conference will be held face-to-face in the Creative Centre on Monday 15th June. Day two will be online on Tuesday 16th June. We encourage you to sign up for both days if possible, as the activities across the two days will be rich and varied.

You can find out more - including details about the Call for Papers - on the TAT26 conference website, where the conference schedule will also be published in due course: https://blog.yorksj.ac.uk/ltse .
