Senior Lecturer (Higher education; Media studies; Sociology not elsewhere classified; Sociology of education; Education)

I lead the Academic Professional Apprenticeship and the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education at Nottingham Trent University. I also teach in the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London. I have a PhD in Communication Studies and more than 15 years of teaching experience in HE. Prior to joining NTU, I was the Deputy Director of the Film, Media, Discourse and Culture Research Centre and Acting Head of Department at the University of Wolverhampton and a Lecturer at the University of Huddersfield. I am passionate about developing CPD programmes and, as a course design expert, I am an avid promoter of the use of digital technologies in all areas of the curriculum. I was the academic lead of the ERASMUS+ MeLDE project (http://meldeproject.eu - 2018-2021), contributing to the design of a CPD programme in digital literacy for European educators.
