Abstract
These papers describe and discuss University College Cork’s involvement with the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) from 2000 to 2009. CASTL was launched in 1998 when Lee Shulman was appointed President of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. In 1999, when Áine Hyland was appointed (academic) vice-president of University College Cork, she visited the CASTL headquarters on the campus of Stanford University, California, and collaborated with researchers there. From then until Shulman’s retirement in 2008, University College Cork was involved in networks of university leaders who encouraged and supported a scholarship of teaching approach in their institutions. The work and influence of two of the networks in particular, the Scholars Network (of which Bettie Higgs was a member) and the Graduate Education Network (chaired by Áine Hyland), are described in this collection. Their impact and influence on subsequent teaching and learning initiatives in University College Cork are also described.
