ACADEMIC TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Lecturer and Historical and Critical Studies Co-Ordinator (Design)
My role is to co-ordinate the historical and critical studies (HACS) in Design modules and act as a first point of contact for operational issues. I act in a similar capacity to a course leader but for a set of modules which are delivered within eight different programmes and three different Schools (others may call these structures Faculties).
​
I am Module Leader for HAC4005-20 (History and Context in Design), HAC5000-20 (Contemporary Issues in Interior Design) and HAC6101-20 and develop the structures, content and contribute to the delivery of these modules. The 3rd Year project module also involves managing 13 members of staff to organise tutorial schedules and workshop timetables for students.
​
A big part of my role is developing our modules to better reflect an intersectional approach, centring around ideas of power and power structures and design history and contemporary issues. The concept of questioning dominant ideas, narratives and perspectives is at the heart of our modules and we encourage students to be critical as well as evidence their ideas.
​
I also teach on the Society, Culture and Consumption Module in the History Department, which I have previously taught on as an Associate Lecturer and I develop in conjunction with the Module Leader.
​
I am also Research focused and so continue to produce outputs from my research areas.
