Over Learning and Teaching in Economics and International Business @ Aston University

Within the Economics and International Business department at Aston University, many of our academics have a strong interest in teaching and learning. We therefore created this podcast with an aim to share insight, innovations, and best practice among the department, as well to a wider audience. The podcast is led by Dr Karishma Patel, a Teaching Fellow in Economics at Aston University. In each episode, we invite members of the department to have a conversation about a topic which they are interested in. We also invite guest speakers to share their insights with us.

Reflections from the Aston Learning and Teaching Festival 2025 - Part 2

In this second part of a two-part special, Karishma Patel (Teaching Fellow in Economics, Aston University) reflects on the recent Aston University Learning and Teaching Festival, held on campus on 1st April 2025. The festival brought together staff and students to share ideas, explore innovative practice, and discuss some of the key challenges in higher education today. In this episode, the focus is on the themes of Belonging and Community, and Student Partnership and Co-Creation. We hear from those who chaired some of these sessions: Sunday Blake (Policy Manager, GuildHE), Gareth Woods (Associate Dean Education and Student Experience,College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Aston University), and Stephen Rooney (Learning Development Adviser, Library and Learning Services, Aston University). We also hear from a brilliant group of Aston Students’ Unioncommittee members: Taher Gadiwala (Vice President Communities), Sayeed Farooq (Vice President Student Activities), Karina Jutlla (Vice President Welfare), Juan Carlos Garcia Belza (President), and Afia Amanoullah (Vice PresidentEducation). This episode explores what meaningful student partnership can look like in practice, how small actions can make a big difference to students’ sense of belonging, and the importance of seeing the academic and wider student experiences as one.
