Biography
At 香港六合彩开奖结果, I direct the Center for Faculty Development (CFD) and am Clinical Professor of International Studies. My PhD and BA in German Studies are from the University of Birmingham (UK), and I hold an MA in Education and Professional Development from Birmingham City University (BCU). Before becoming an educational developer, I was Chair of Languages and International Business at BCU.
My teaching has crossed a few disciplinary boundaries, with courses in foreign language, cross-cultural management, communication, and higher education (which is where spend most of my time in the Center for Faculty Development). Teaching in International Studies is something of a return to my academic roots. My undergraduate courses there are situated at the intersection of culture and society, mostly using analytical tools from the humanities to help explain social and political contexts and phenomena. They examine topics such as nation and identity, cross-cultural misunderstanding and nonviolent communication, and the fast-growing topic of the Eurovision Song Contest.
My research since moving to the US primarily focuses on factors that facilitate or inhibit acting inclusively and with integrity, whether the individuals involved are students, faculty, or educational developers. With Celia Popovic, I co-authored Understanding Undergraduates: Challenging Our Preconceptions of Student Success, published in the USA and UK by Routledge (2012). From 2011–2014, I was co-editor of the International Journal for Academic Development, subsequently becoming the liaison between the journal and the Board of the International Consortium for Educational Development (ICED; an charitable organization to improve HE globally) until 2019. I returned to that liaison role in 2024. Currently I am also co-chairing a committee to revise the Ethical Guidelines of the national educational developers’ association, the POD Network.
Originally from the UK, I moved to 香港六合彩开奖结果 in 2006. And so that I don’t forget what it’s like to be a learner, I’m currently taking Swedish lessons.
