Professor in Photographic Culture
"Our research culture, especially the contributions of artists, writers, doctoral and Masters students clustered in relation to Land/Water and the Visual Arts, offers a supportive community of scholars within which to develop, test, extend and critically reflect upon my research, writing and exhibition curation."
Associate Head of School
Associate Professor of Design
"As a creative collaborator my faculty has supported me to explore, cultivate and grow opportunities which have hugely developed me both personally and professionally."
Associate Professor (Spatial Practice)
Associate Head of School for Graduate Affairs
"Throughout the last decade of my career as an academic and a researcher, I benefited from supportive school managers who provided opportunities for me to lead and progress through promotion whilst having two small children under the age of eight. I am now leading a research network, have 4* research outputs and have been successful at research grant capture."
Associate Professor in Photography
"As a documentary filmmaker and photographer, I am interested in how we interact and intervene with landscape through specialist subject knowledge in order to gain a better understanding of current environmental challenges. Working in interdisciplinary research teams has broadened my understanding of the wider world, and I embed this in my teaching practice with the focus that we need new knowledge for our future."
