Gavin Bell, together with Cellist Nick Roberts from Warwick’s Coull Quartet and departmental colleagues Edwards, Harrison, Pounds and Roemer, has been awarded an academic fellowship of the Institute for Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL) to “develop interdisciplinary teaching material around the links between science, mathematics and music“. In detail, the fellowship aims to bring aspects of interdisciplinary teaching to some existing Physics modules, engage with students and academics across different faculties to develop interdisciplinary activities, run a one-day meeting on the subject of innovative teaching in science and music and, last but not least, to plan interdisciplinary undergraduate teaching in the area of science/maths/music in the framework of proposals for one or two new joint IATL/Physics modules. The fellowship capitalizes on the existing links of the Physics Department with the Coull Quartet, e.g. last year’s joint premiere of Edward Cowie’s Quintet for 21st Century Oboe and Quartet “The Colours of Dark Light”, a work directly inspired by physics. Congratulations to all involved for the fellowship!
