About the blog

Menu of Insights, Recipe for Change!

The Academic Menu & Recipe blog is a thoughtfully crafted space for academic professionals actively involved in teaching and research in higher education. It welcomes everyone and those keenly interested in exploring pedagogical strategies and learning methodologies in higher education, inviting active participation and discourse among peers in the field.

I aim to amplify the nuanced complexities inherent in academia and provide scholarly insights that encourage academics to critically reflect on their teaching practices. Additionally, the content promotes thoughtful consideration of broader, systemic issues within the academy.

This blog aims to blend practical strategies with theoretical insights, offering a metaphorical ‘menu’ of educational research, innovative approaches, and pedagogical practices. Each blog post serves as an opportunity to present reminders, ideas, tools, and strategies that academics can incorporate into their classrooms, enhancing the teaching and learning experience.

The ‘recipe’ aspect reflects the blog’s focus on addressing the current sector challenges. In these posts, I will share personal reflections, research findings, and practical experiences to suggest solutions and perspectives that contribute to meaningful change in higher education as a recipe. The title, Academic Menu & Recipe, symbolises the dynamic interplay between curating knowledge (the menu) and ‘cooking’ solutions (the recipe) for higher education’s evolving teaching and learning landscape.

This blog aims to inform, inspire, and create a collaborative community where educators can exchange ideas, rethink teaching practices, and contribute to the ongoing dialogue on the future of higher education.

A new blog post will be published monthly; I invite you to stay engaged and explore.
