DESCRIPTION:Mira Vogel works as an educational developer in King's Academy
 \, King's College London. Her mixed background includes an undergraduate d
 egree in English Language and Literature\, a doctorate in web-based health
  promotion\, and educational development roles in four University of Londo
 n institutions. For many years her focus on digital education required her
  to interpret EU Equality legislation with a particular emphasis on disabi
 lity. Then the first decade of the millennium saw the emergence of free an
 d open online courses - but their strong rhetoric of liberation coupled wi
 th their sky-high drop-out rates prompted many other questions about inclu
 sion. Meanwhile - because of global aspirations\, several attainment gaps\
 , the regulatory imperative to widen participation\, and the moral imperat
 ive to do the right thing - inclusion has become a major concern for UK hi
 gher education institutions. From 2016 at University College London she ha
 s co-chaired 'Liberating the Curriculum'\, a working group set up to promo
 te inclusion in curricula and pedagogies\, through events and small projec
 t grants. When she moved to King's College London in 2018 this partnership
  continued\, taking shape in a web resource for practitioners called 'Libe
 rating Our Curricula'\, collaboratively authored by the local educational 
 development community. At King's a large part of her role is working on ou
 r 'Learning and Teaching Programme' for new teaching staff\, in which the 
 aim is to foreground practices and principles of equitable representation\
 ,  participation and opportunities to succeed. She particularly liaise wi
 th Arts and Humanities\, disciplines which often require educators to resp
 ond to frictions and silences in ways which value free expression\, studen
 ts' agency\, and inclusion.\nFrom this seminar you will learn about the de
 velopments which have enabled the main UK higher education institutions to
  develop inclusive digital education curricula.\nThis is also an opportuni
 ty to learn practices and share ideas on how to successfully manage partic
 ipation equally and inclusively.
