As part of a collaborative partnership with the Surrey Institute of Education, Advance HE, York, School of Education, Liverpool Hope University (UK), an interesting research article on teaching and learning during the pandemic has been published:

Karen Gravetta , Patrick Baughanb, Namrata Raoc and Ian Kinchina: Spaces and places for connection: using photovoice to surface the micro-moments of learning and teaching

Abstract
In this study, we focus on the everyday, occluded, opportunities for learning and teaching conversations, encounters and connections. Whilst various opportunities are afforded by activities such as conferences and seminars to enable dialogue on research, rather less attention has been given to opportunities which may facilitate such tacit micro-moments for learning and teaching dialogue. Adopting a photovoice method, in this article we ask: what role do such micro-moments play in offering space for learning and teaching dialogue, what do they tell us about the working lives of academics, and what support do such connections offer? Our findings are explored against a backdrop of the ongoing disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning that opportunities for interaction have assumed even greater significance and poignancy. Our aim is to foreground those spaces and places of interaction which teachers value as promoting learning and teaching conversations, and which provide sustenance to cope with the difficulties of working within higher education. Further, our data highlights that the Covid-19 pandemic has blurred the boundaries of spaces and places for dialogue in complex and meaningful ways. As such, we examine how these micro-moments may be significant to university teachers’ development and well-being and we explore the future of such spaces and places of learning and teaching dialogue in post-pandemic times.
