BSc New Technology, Media and Communications

Masters of Research

Both these degrees were studied at the University of East London.  I am therefore a proud alumni of the institution.

Since joining UEL in 2000 I have undertaken a range of roles and posts from Administrator/ Researcher and Lecturer to UCU trade union officer.  I have been in a permanent part-time Lecturer post since 2007 and since then have mainly worked within the Extended Degree programme.  I have however worked across all undergraduate Levels and I am currently co-working on the development of a Masters module, Sports Media, Culture and Society,  for the new MA Sports Media programme.

I have also:

Chaired: UCU Workshop: Who runs your university?  Governance, Democracy and Business Influence in Higher Education.  6th March 2009.  University of East London.
External Member, Course Monitoring Panel of Level 0 Design and Communication Programme 2009, Ravensbourne College.
External Member, Validation Panel 2006, Level 0 Design and Communication Programme -  Ravensbourne College.
External Member, Validation Panel 2006, OCN (Essex), Access to Computing, Havering College.

I am currently programme leader for the Extended Degrees programme in Humanities and module leader.

My two main areas of interest are: 

Higher Education: teaching and learning, widening access and the Political Economy of Higher Education, history of academic trade unions.

Sports, Media and Culture:  The Political Economy of Football,  relationship between sport and the media, sports rights, women and football.

My current research is mainly for the creation of new modules in the revalidated Extended Degree programme.   However once complete I will start researching the use of Stadia post Olympics and the impact on other sports facilities and the communities that use them in the locality of the mega Olympic venues.
