Speed Networking by Standing Group on Teaching and Learning Politics

Abstract

The Standing Group on Teaching and Learning Politics are excited to bring you one of our first Speed Networking Sessions! We’ll be using the app – Spatial Chat – so the structure of the session is expected to be as follows: We will start with a short introduction by Dale and Dorothy, co-chairs for our section and members of the TLP Steering Committee. With a brief introduction to the Spatial Chat app. This will be followed by 4 rounds of groups that people will be able to move their avatars in/out of discussions like we would in-person. Rather than allocation to a room, we hope that people will ‘float’ to the area / topic of interest to start and rotate to other areas on each round to meet new people after about 5 minutes or so. General introductions will be encouraged (name, institution, research topic) There will then be a short conclusion by Dale and Dorothy.
