Teaching

I have been teaching in sociology and in interdisciplinary settings since 2003. My teaching career began at the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex, during my doctorate. I will always be grateful to the department for giving me the opportunity to teach seminars on a wide range of subjects and, in the latter stages of my PhD, give lectures, coordinate a large undergraduate class, and supervise undergraduate dissertation research. As a result of this wide-ranging early teaching experience, I have always been something of a generalist teacher. This has enabled me to teach widely across sociology, as well as adjacent fields, such as criminology and global studies. Beyond my experience as a generalist teacher, my focus areas in teaching include sociological theory, qualitative and quantitative research methods, criminology, culture, and globalisation and transnationalism.

Throughout my career so far, I have also had the opportunity to gain teaching experience in highly diverse academic settings at the international level. This has included experience in coordinating classes, lecturing, teaching, and curriculum development at universities in England, the USA, Trinidad and Tobago, South Korea, and China. As a result, I consider myself to be a particularly flexible and adaptable teacher, in terms of my ability to work with students from a wide variety of backgrounds.
