Teaching Thoughts

I do believe in academic research’s ability to transform. I recall when I was myself an undergraduate student walking out of lectures feeling motivated and thinking “wow- I have never thought about the world in these terms before!”. The ability to use academic teaching to make people look at the world with fresh eyes is something that I aspire to do as a lecturer.

I draw commonly on my previous work background working for the UN in my teaching (especially development studies), which both allows inspiration but also (importantly) critique of governance processes
