For the promotion of sound learning: Canterbury College
Come along and explore the history of teaching at Canterbury College through the pedagogy of 'things'.
From the lab to the library, hear curator Bojana Rimbovska explore the material culture of teaching and learning at Canterbury College.
Drawing primarily on items used at the university's original city campus site, now The Arts Centre Te Matatiki Toi Ora, it will consider the various teaching tools that were used across departments and how they might reflect pedagogical approaches of the time.
When class was not in session, students continued to learn by making art, getting involved in clubs, and enjoying afternoon tea with their lecturers. This talk will follow the material traces of these formal and informal ways of learning to reflect on the value of these object lessons today.
This talk will highlight some of the special and unique artefacts uncovered as part of the university's 150th anniversary exhibition Whiria te tāngata: Weaving the People Together.
Doors open 5.30pm. Take advantage of the opportunity to view Myths and Mortals, the current exhibition at the Teece Museum.
Entry is free, but seats are limited so registration is essential.
