Teaching
Teaching is an important part of what I do. The rewards and challenges of teaching are endless. There is the joy of helping new students grapple with original concepts for the first time. There is the sheer pleasure in helping final year and masters students develop their own research ideas enacted in the field. There is also the collaborative testing of ideas that comes from learning with those who return for executive education. For my part, teaching has to excite a romance for ideas. Without interest and engagement there can be no learning.
I have long championed new (innovative) methods where they advance learning. Coupled with my research interest in visual methods this has lead me to pioneer the use of student produced pocket films (You can get a feel for some of the student films here: Management Learning Channel) and photo essays in management education. I also find value in role play, scenarios, case-studies and more. I've delivered large lectures, small tutorials, workshops to groups of 80, immersive sessions and individual supervisions. I have taught face to face and online, in the UK and around the world. Over time you get to teach a lot of classes across a lot of subjects. You learn something from each (as I hope the students do to).
CASME
Being committed to teaching means being committed to those who teach. For this reason I co-founded a centre dedicated to teaching and learning scholarship in Higher Education. The centre is dedicated to sharing best practice, exploring new possibilities and shaping teaching careers. Clicking on the picture opposite will take you to the official site.
I have also received funding for work in conjunction with Dr Claudine Kearny to develop innovative micro credit courses for health practitioners in Ireland and gloablly (Beyond Business as Usual: Transforming Entrepreneurship in Healthcare and Science. Higher Education Authority (Ireland). €120,000/£105,000. 2022/3).
