Masters Teaching

MA Environment, Society & Development (~ 12 students)

Co-director of the MA ESD program (Sept 2017 – Present)

In my role as co-director and coordinator of the MA in Environment, Society and Development I have developed ample experience coordinating, leading, organising and delivering multiple modules as a part of a team. This role has been crucial for enabling me to gain greater experience into the various dimensions of coordinating and collaborating in a teaching environment at a postgraduate level. Relevant experience includes:

  • Coordinating and communicating across with staff leading MA modules and the MA director
  • Ensuring common themes are made and drawn out across all modules
  • Marketing the master’s program among final level BA students and internationally through network of colleagues and affiliations
  • Acting as the key interface and point of contact for MA students and student representatives
  • Coordinating two MA modules with multiple participating staff. Duties included timetabling and schedule module sessions, communicating with all teaching staff participating on the modules, organising a series of guest lectures, acting as interface between staff and students, setting up group projects and ensuring effective running and management of the modules.
  • Designing new masters program: I am currently leading in the development of a new cross-college masters in Development Practice program. In this process I am gaining significant experience in institutional leadership, negotiation, cross-college collaboration, program design, module design and marketing.

Postgraduate Teaching

I have experience teaching on pre-existing graduate modules as well as designing and delivering new courses.
