I am a Lecturer at Bournemouth University. I joined the Media School team this spring after a year as a fellow at the Rutgers Center for Historical Research. I received my PhD in Communication Studies from McGill University in Montreal and previously worked as a post-doctoral LSE Fellow in the department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
I have taught internationally, offering a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules on visual culture, digital technologies, mass media, consumerism, gender, social movements, and research methods at Rutgers University, Richmond University, McGill University, Binghamton University (SUNY) and the LSE . My research on teaching has been published in The Media Education Rsearch Journal, The Review of Education, Pedagogy and Cultural Studies and the McGill Centre for Research and Teaching on Women Newsletter. I am also a trained workshop facilitator and community educator and enjoy leading interactive sessions on pedagogy, collaboration and learning innovation. I have previously held workshops across Europe and North America at institutions including University of Grenada, Rutgers University, and the University of Amsterdam.
I am currently an Associate and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. From March 2010-March 2011 I conducted an HEA-ADM funded research project with Dr. Mehita Iqani on “Quality Enhancement and Prospective Quality Assurance through Teaching Exchange workshops in Media and Communications” that designed and tested a collaboratively-driven and faculty led, alternative model for insuring and enhancing teaching and learning quality. An active participant in teacher development and learning innovation, I have undertaken safe space and advanced facilitation training.
