The College of Humanities’s Critical Pedagogy Group (CoHUM CPG) operates as an experimental space for academic staff and CoHUM students to collaborate on investigating and co-creating ways in which the activities of teaching and learning in the College can be made more innovative and inclusive with regard to gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic (dis)advantage, and disability.

The CoHUM CPG, in this way, is home to a unique and innovative learning and teaching initiative, whose intellectual heritage is rooted in the tradition of Paolo Freire (1970) and bell hooks (1994).

The group stands out in part because its design provides undergraduate and postgraduate students with a real means of being active stakeholders in College-, Departmental-, and programme-specific pedagogy at all levels of study: from designing reading lists through curriculum design to assessment design itself.

By co-creating pedagogies with students, the CoHUM CPG produces and sustains environments in which academic staff and students identify one another as partners, to the extent that student agency is embedded at a substantive executive level in a leading higher education institution.
