Teaching

Teaching Approach

My teaching approach is research-led, participatory and focused on connecting theoretical debates to contemporary political problems. Across undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, I use simulations, role play, structured discussion and fieldwork materials to help students evaluate competing perspectives, work with different forms of evidence and develop confidence in their own analytical judgements. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
