An Introduction to the Centre for Excellence in Learning & Teaching Dr. Iain Mac Labhrainn, CELT September 2 nd, 2008

Introduction  Who are we?  What do we do?  Why does a University need such a centre?

Disclaimer We have nothing to do with the 74 Centres for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETLs) in the UK Higher Education system. We recognise that for many people in academia ‘Excellence’ is a loaded, contentious term and it is one that we inherited, rather than selected and should not imply any alignment or endorsement of the neo-liberal, managerialist educational paradigm, attempts to commodify education as purely a private good, nor any compulsive obsession with performativity, metrics, league tables or other such paraphernalia.

Basically…. We are just really interested in ensuring that staff and students alike get as much personal intellectual reward and satisfaction out of the university experience and that we aim to do our best in terms of nurturing new generations of learners, scholars and citizens.
