I believe that teaching and research should be closely related; I am enthusiastic about sharing my own research with my students and using teaching opportunities to discuss developing research output and showing students how knowledge about the field is constantly evolving.
I am happy to share course guides and reading lists from the previous units section – just contact me and ask!
