Keynote Speaker - Helen Knowler
Helen is an Associate Professor, based in UCL's Arena Centre for Research Based Education. She leads the Eugenics Legacy Education Project (ELEP) which focuses on developing the educational outcomes of UCK's Eugenics Inquiry Report, Helen collaborate with a wide range of colleagues in a diverse range of roles to think about how we teach this difficult knowledge.
Her expertise and research interests are closely aligned and broadly relate to Inclusive Education. More recently she has been working on the ways that 'difficult knowledge' is taught in higher education contexts and how this links to inclusion and belonging in teaching and learning spaces. She is interested in the role of reparative approaches to teaching and learning in the context of institutional legacies and histories of harm and develop resources that educators can use in their own classroom.
