Teaching

In addition to six years spent as a university lecturer, I’ve worked with young people in a variety of settings and locations, from teaching MA research skills to helping British primary school students master tones in Mandarin. I am currently a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA). Current and former employers are below.


At Solent, I currently lead six undergraduate modules within the Department of Journalism and English. These are:

  • Dissertation (JOU600);

  • Journalism in Society (JOU512);
  • The Digital Writer (JOU415);
  • News Skills and Values (JOU412);
  • Research Skills (JOU414)

I am writing a new module in Travel Journalism to launch in the Autumn of 2021 and also integrate my long-standing interest in Data Journalism into several of the above modules.
