Authentic Assessments in Criminology (2 x presentations, Q&A session)
Wednesday 2 March 2022, 11:00-12:30
The role of a creative assignment in the criminology curriculum – Anna Matczak (The Hague University of Applied Sciences)
This presentation will discuss the role of a creative assignment in a criminology module entitled Crime, Safety & Security, offered at the Hague University of Applied Sciences, Netherlands, and reflect on innovative research dissemination practices in the criminology curriculum. In Crime, Safety and Security, the overall assessment consists of three elements: exam, policy brief and creative assignment. In relation to the latter, students are expected to visualize the topic of their policy brief and choose a presentation method other than PowerPoint slides (e.g. video/animation production, simulation, academic poster, painting, small photographic exhibition, song lyrics, dance, podcast) to communicate not only the policy problem, but also the solution to the problem, in an engaging and stimulating manner. The most innovative assignments are featured publicly.
Embedding authentic assessment: Insights from a recent revalidation process – Lea Sitkin and Morwenna Bennallick (University of Westminster)
Overseeing the revalidation process for the BA Criminology course at the University of Westminster initially felt daunting, but we soon realised the opportunity we had been given to help realign the course. A key concern was to adopt a wider range of assessments, and to ensure that assessments were authentic and inclusive. In this presentation, Lea Sitkin and Morwenna Bennallick will explore three examples of authentic assessments, explaining why these were chosen and the skills and capabilities that are being developed through these assessments.

Restorative Approaches to Learning and Teaching in Criminology (Workshop)
Wednesday 23 March 2022, 12:45-14:00
Ian Marder (Maynooth University)
Most criminologists are aware of the concept of restorative justice as a response to crime and conflict in different settings, and some may have come across the idea that restorative practices can be used proactively to build relationships and enable participation in public services. This interactive workshop, led by Ian Marder, will explore how academics can apply a restorative framework as a teaching philosophy and a practice in higher education, focusing on criminological education. Participants will consider the applicability of core restorative principles to higher education teaching and explore how restorative processes can be used to improve relationships and enable meaningful student participation in criminology courses. Examples will include the use of circle processes in classrooms, a sustained restorative dialogue within a master’s course, and dialogic methods of obtaining student feedback.

What Does Employability Look Like in Criminology? (2 x presentations, Q&A session)
Wednesday 4th May 2022, 12:30 – 14:00
Reflections and pedagogical considerations for engaging students in criminology-based employability activity – Sarah Page and Joanne Turner (Staffordshire University)
This presentation, delivered by Sarah Page and Jo Turner, will describe and critically reflect on several employability practices at Staffordshire University; from the development of a placement core module at UG and PG level, to initiating a crime and society research group that provides professional research assistant opportunities for students, to facilitating students working for a cold case unit that has been set up between the University and the police. The presenters will discuss teaching and assessment considerations and share some practical insights.
Critical reflections on meaningful employability delivery – Teri-Lisa Griffiths and Nichola Cadet (Sheffield Hallam University)
Nichola Cadet (Business Engagement and Enterprise Portfolio Lead) and Teri-Lisa Griffiths (Criminology Employability Lead), both from the Department of Law and Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University, will share findings from a critical reflection paper based on delivery of employability modules and placements to Criminology undergraduate students. Topics will include, meaningful experiences for external partners and students, the challenges presented by high student numbers, and the wider context for employability in Criminology.

The BSA Virtual Annual Conference 2022 will take place from 20-22 April 2022 and the theme is Building Equality and Justice Now. A year in which the pandemic tightened its grip in so many parts of the world, the extent of extreme global inequality in its impact on Covid-19 mortality and vaccine inequity was thrown into sharp relief in 2021. Domestically as well as globally the long-term social, economic and political effects of the Covid-19 pandemic are becoming increasingly apparent – through worsening health outcomes for marginalised populations, deepening poverty and economic precarity, or the entrenchment of political and state corruption for financial gain.
For more information see the BSA website
The event will take place in person and online. Please register here. If you plan to attend in person, please register by 12:00 pm on Friday 28 January 2022. Registration for online attendees is available until 12:00 pm on Thursday 3 February 2022.
