About the event

This event is part of the Centre for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum's Seminar Series for summer 2025, taking place across teaching block 3.

Host: Centre for Teaching, Learning and Curriculum (TLC)

Speaker: Professor Keri Facer and Harriet Hand (University of Bristol)

Timing, rhythm, and our habits of thinking about time shape how we see problems and make sense of the world, yet the teaching and learning of time remains underexplored.

This seminar is an opportunity for hands-on reflection on how ‘temporal practices and frames foreclose or enable new possibilities to emerge’ (Facer, 2023).

The session will be in two parts – an introduction to the theory of the temporal imagination followed by an invitation to explore a new pedagogical tool – in the form of a table-top storytelling game – that aims to familiarise players with temporal concepts and to explore the potential of renegotiating how we work with time.
