I am an enthusiastic teacher with a commitment to adaptability and inclusion. I have had the privilege to teach across a range of areas in philosophy, at both undergraduate and postgraduate level (as listed below) and am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. In addition to my teaching posts at Cardiff University and the University of Glasgow, my pedagogical understanding was enriched by working as a disability needs assessor within the sector, developing support plans for students tailored to their particular learning context. Currently I serve as the Technology-Enhanced Learning & Teaching representative for Philosophy at the University of Glasgow.

My teaching is research-led, enabling innovation and student engagement; courses have included the upper undergraduate ‘Philosophy of Time Travel’, an ancient philosophy-rich epistemology course, and an intersectional feminist philosophy course including the philosophy of race and disability. In addition, I have been fortunate to make guest appearances as part of teaching provision at the University of Notre Dame, Birmingham, and even in virtual reality! I recently collaborated with the Royal Institute of Philosophy on their ‘15-Minute Masterclass’ series, with two videos on ‘The Recipe for Knowledge’, targeted at high school students.

I prioritise inclusive curriculum design, constructive alignment of learning outcomes and assessment, and giving useful and frequent feedback. To this end I co-led a pedagogical research project at Cardiff University – managing two PhD students and involving more than sixty undergraduate volunteers – into the use and usefulness of peer feedback. I’ve supervised a variety of dissertations at undergraduate and Masters level, and am currently supervising two PhD candidates.

I have served in various administrative roles in addition to my current position as TELT rep, including Year 2 & 3 Convenor, Extenuating Circumstances Officer, as a personal tutor, and on Staff-Student and Marketing & Recruitment panels. I’ve been involved in Open Days and other recruitment and outreach events, including sessions and summer schools with secondary school students, which I have thoroughly enjoyed.

Finally, my teaching receives consistently high praise from students. I was nominated for ‘Most Uplifting Staff Member’ and shortlisted for ‘Most Effective Teacher’ at the Cardiff University Enriching Student Life Awards, to my great delight.
