Guerrilla lectures: innovative teaching at the LSE

Part of the remit of the Institute of Public Affairs has been to innovate in teaching at LSE. To this end the Institute has created the concept of a ‘guerrilla lecture’. These are essentially flash mob lectures on a topical theme, in a secret and unusual location, that give students something exciting and unique to take with them from their years at university. The first three lectures have been in the Westminster Cathedral crypt (on Hell!), Highgate cemetery (who was better Marx or Spencer – their graves are besides each other) and in the LSE’s Director apartment where we discussed the financing of higher education. If you are interested in more information on any of these, read this Times Higher article.
