I am engaged with innovating in and improving teaching, learning and assessment around research-led teaching, investigative learning and internationalisation. My teaching approach emphasises interaction with the students. I use student-led sessions whose topic is chosen by the class, online seminars, video screenings and collaborating with student groups in designing the course materials through Moodle.
My lectures are regularly updated to integrate my evolving research; focusing on international migration and globalisation, my teaching benefits directly from my international experience as a researcher and lecturer. I was trained and have worked in overseas universities, and my research is cross-national and comparative.
