Teaching & Widening Participation

 Approach

I am an assistant teacher in Politics, with experience delivering Thinking Politically and Political Concepts. My seminaras seek to produce highly critical, engaging and inclusive discussions around the core unit readings. As a member of the Residential Life Services at the University of Bristol make sure my students know that I can offer pastoral support for students and point them to university services when required. 

Shortlisted for Students' Awards for Outstanding Teaching by a Postgraduate Student in June 2018.

Widening Participation

University of Bristol – supervised by Helen Doyle Faculty Engagement Officer

• Design and develop content for social science lecture modules: critical thinking, diversity, multiculturalism, gender & LGBTQ+, and staying safe online
• Deliver sessions in person and online to students from 11-17 years of age from underrepresented backgrounds; delivered sessions for the Cambridge University HE+ Programme, and Higher Programme Qualification.

PhD tutor for The Brilliant Club -  Scholar's programme

• Create and deliver research projects tailored to pupils from underrepresented backgrounds to increase their knowledge/confidence about higher education
• Supervise and grade projects of 9-18-year-olds from non-selective state schools using university making guidelines

These two experiences have led to very meaningful interactions with young people from a wide range of backgrounds and highlights my continued commitment and passion not only to education but to the development of student experiences, building academic confidence, and skill building.
