The HOPE Lecture: celebrating the first Australian university course in physical education

Q230  Theatre, Level 2

<h3>Redeeming the Heart of Education and the Soul of Teaching and Learning</h3><h3> </h3>Education often feels like a balancing act - with competing demands and conflicting purposes, it can be difficult for educators to stay focused on what truly matters. Has the heart of teaching and learning been lost in the noise? Professor John Quay believes there's hope, through the good work of teachers.In this inaugural professorial lecture, Professor Quay will suggest a different way of considering how teaching and learning work, one that is always available, but mostly hidden beneath other concerns. Through a subtle realignment of the ways teaching and learning fit together, Professor Quay will argue we can move away from rigid top-down approaches to a more integrated vision of education. Date: Thursday 31st October 2024Time: 5.30pm Light refreshments | 6.00pm LectureVenue: Q230 Theatre. Level 2, 234 Queensberry Street, University of MelbournePlease Note: Due to the theatre's limited capacity, please only register for a seated ticket if you are sure to be attending in person. A ticket type to receive a copy of the recording is available for those that are unable to attend. In the past, this lecture series was named after Fritz Duras. Recent evidence has been brought to our attention regarding his membership of the Eugenics Society of Victoria. As a consequence, the lecture has been renamed “The HOPE Lecture: celebrating the first Australian university course in physical education.”HOPE is an acronym for Health, Outdoor and Physical Education; but HOPE also carries an optimism regarding possible futures for education.
