I joined the school in 2019 and I am a Course Director of the MArch course and the Deputy Director of Education for the school. I have also taken a lead in the school's admission open days. Prior to joining Sheffield, I taught at Central Saint Martins for several years as a Studio Leader, Widening Participation Tutor, and Leader of Professional Practice.
My scholarship is focussed on architectural pedagogy – both current, historic and its future – as well as the professionalisation of architects in 19th Century Britain and the ongoing implications of the circumstances of its formalisation into a regulated profession. I currently collaborate with educators at other schools of architecture on the future of architectural education as well as engaging with external partners such as on mentoring.
My architectural pedagogical research explores inclusivity and I have presented action research at the Association of Architectural Educators on the role of digital platforms to aide in-class participation and evaluative judgement.

Feedback, Assessment and Reflection Guide, 2023 - 2024
This guide has been developed to help anyone involved in: receiving and giving feedback, assessment activities and reflection processes. It is a resource for students, staff and guests. The aim is to give people a better understanding of these fundamental areas of learning and teaching, to ensure that everyone can make the most of their education at the Sheffield School of Architecture.

Reading lists (sometimes called study or reference material) are often long, non hierarchical, lists presented to students with no context, and usually as full book titles at the end of project briefs. Anecdotally, or at least through marking submitted papers over the last 8 years, I have seen papers submitted regularly that make no reference to the reading lists. This scholarship aims to test if this really is the case and to look at best practice examples, through action research, of how reading lists could be presented more effectively. In addition, this project looks critically at instances of 'male, pale and stale'.Journal Article, EDI, Pedagogy, History and Representation, Stuart McKenzie
