The Harold Rosen lectures are given in memory of the influential educator and teacher whose work on English teaching remains an important force in the shaping of theory and practice in this field. They are jointly promoted by the National Association for the Teaching of English (NATE), the United Kingdom Literacy Association (UKLA), and the Digital Arts Research Education (DARE) research collaborative at the Institute of Education, University of London. They aim to disseminate the best contemporary thinking about literacy and arts education, both in the UK and internationally, through three lectures each year.
