The Teaching Academy is a semi-autonomous academic group working within the University of Lincoln. It is dedicated to studying, supporting and stretching the imagination about the meaning and practice of good pedagogy, higher education and the purpose of the university today. We believe it is vital to create spaces for undertaking such work that are guided by educational and social logics and not determined by institutional, governmental or market criteria of value.

We aim to work together with other educators, students, support workers, non-academic university workers with an interest in education, and critical managers to explore matters of pedagogical and political concern. Work in the Teaching Academy may take many forms, including the creation of public spaces for dialogue, debate and sharing knowledge; offering resources for research into pedagogy and the philosophy and sociology of education; sharing practical ideas and tools for teaching and facilitating learning; producing and publishing relevant scholarship and research on teaching; and raising awareness about developments in higher educational practices, politics, movements and discourses both in the UK and internationally.
