Pauline Kneale Professor Pauline Kneale - ()
Role
Director of Teaching and Learning / ProVice Chancellor Mini Biography I started my career as an undergraduate geographer at University College London, moved to Bristol as a PHD student and stayed as a temporary lecturer or a year before migrating to Environmental Sciences at Trinity College Dublin, and then via Kingston, to Geography at the University of Leeds in 1985. I moved to University of Plymouth in autumn 2009 as Director, The Higher Education Academy Subject Centre for Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences, and a Professor in The School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. Early research interests in slopes, hydrology and mires have slowly been dominated by moving to focus on learning, teaching and enterprise issues, with particular emphasis on developing innovative teaching and pedagogical research, and encouraging colleagues to engage in pedagogical research. This led to a National Teaching Fellowship in 2002, and a Higher Education Academy Senior Teaching Fellowship in the first round in 2007. As ProDean Learning and Teaching for the Faculty of Environment at the University of Leeds, (2002-8) which included the 3 GEES disciplines and Transport Studies, I was responsible for all aspects of learning and teaching quality assurance, promoting and enhancing student learning and the student experience. In parallel to this role, I was Director of the Leeds White Rose Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning of Enterprise (2005-10). This project worked with colleagues in Leeds, Sheffield and York to embed enterprise education across the curricula of all disciplines, and with students to develop their practical enterprise skills. As part of this project I developed a suite of enterprise elective modules for undergraduates, developed materials for medical students, and created a Masters module for Dental students. WRCETLE-related projects centred on embedding enterprise in Leeds, working with medical colleagues in South Africa, and with Information Scientists in Ethiopia. Other research projects include exploring pedagogy issues around intrapreneurship, Masters level teaching and the student skills agenda.
