As Director of UEL's Institute for Performing Arts Development I have overall responsibility for the development and running of all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. I work with the staff team in the Field of Performing Arts on all aspects of learning, teaching & assessment, and research & knowledge exchange.

I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a UEL Teaching Fellow.

My current research focuses on the performance of locality and cultural memory. I investigate this through practice, utilising the form of the guided walk as a mode of investigating, documenting and exploring themes of memory and belonging, mostly in urban settings. I am completing a PhD entitled 'Failing Site: Locating Performance and its Docuiment'.

I sit on a range of School and University-wide committees, including:

• School Management Team
• School Quality Standing Committee
• External Examiners' Sub-committee
• University Square Stratford internal planning group
• Sports Programme Board

Outside the university I sit on:

• Stratford Circus management group
• Stratford Rising
• Standing Conference of University Drama Departments executive
