Teaching
My approach to teaching
Geography is a situated subject – we live our lives in and through space and place – this makes the subject exciting and relevant as we can observe and engage with geographies at work all around us, everyday. As such, I strongly believe teaching should be engaging, relying not only on lectures, but film, photography, discussion, group projects and workshop sessions, to enable students to critically analyse the world we live in and to provide important skills for future employment.
I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) having completed a course in Teaching to Inspire Learning. I am also the Education Officer for the Social and Cultural Geography Research Group (SCGRG) of the Royal Geographical Society (RGS). I am the author of the discipline-wide textbook 'Your Human Geography Dissertation: Designing, Doing, Delivering (Sage, 2017).
