My teaching focuses largely on the intersections of history, industry, cultural change and film practice. I've taught widely across a number of degree programmes, including Film and TV Production, Film Studies, Journalism and Media Production. Several of my modules look at critical and analytical skills for students, embedding research skills and introducing first years to academic study. Further teaching is research-led and draws on my work on independent cinema and transnational cinemas, with a key interest in diverse storytelling and widening the taught canon beyond that previously established in the film studies and production disciplines. I also lead independent project and research modules at third year undergraduate and postgraduate level. I also teach film practice, particularly short film drama and directing performances, providing students with insight into how to work with actors. With a particular focus on problem-based learning in production, I advocate both for experiential learning and blended approaches to theory and practice that I believe enrich both sides of a falsely constructed binary. My work also extends to engaging with film and television industries, largely through the Screen Industries Growth Network, to engage with ways in which students can enrich their experiences of HE by engaging with industry. In 2022, I organised a symposium that explored how HE curricula could provide both training for future careers and balance the needs of more traditional HE outcomes of critical thinking, research skills and soft skills that enable the leaders of the future to transform industries. I have served as external examiner at Solent University for the BA in Film and TV Production and was previously an external at Bangor University for BAs in film and media and MA film-making. More recently, I have been an external for MA Documentary at Liverpool John Moores University. Furthermore, I have served as a member of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies’ Teaching Committee, who promote the development of pedagogy in film and media studies programmes internationally.
