Kaegi, Ann

Abstract

Ann Kaegi & Lesley Morrell University of Hull academics with student partners Ben Ryan & Emma-Rose Walters
Cup of TEA podcast, Season 3, Ep. 7

In this podcast, Mike Ewen (Head of the Teaching Excellence Academy) meets Ann Kaegi, lecturer in English and Faculty EDI Champion and Lesley Morrell, Faculty of Science & Engineering Associate Dean (Education). They are joined by student partners Ben Ryan and Emma-Rose Walters, undergraduates in History and Criminology* respectively, two of the eight student partners on their project 'Education for Sustainable Development Changemakers'. They passionately report on their achievements last year in highlighting the importance of embedding engagement with sustainability in SHAPE subjects* with the support of Students Organising for Sustainability UK (SOS-UK).

*SHAPE: Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts for People, the Economy and the Environment.

... "It's important for us to understand that without an understanding of the role of humanities, the social sciences and the arts, we will not be able to pivot towards the sort of revolutionary changes in our behaviour, in our technology, in our outlook about what we need to do individually and collectively to create a more sustainable world."...

… “one of the conclusions we came to is that science is what’s going to save the world but humanities is why it’s worth saving!”...
