I am passionate about the dissemination of research. I draw on my academic expertise and a range of experiences as a lecturer and researcher as well as writing tutor:
Writing mentor- I run a writing mentoring programme for the journal of comparative and international education, Compare. The programme supports new researchers and academics writing in English as an additional language, to help meet the expectations of a research publishing world in which English is a dominant language.
Student support- For several years, I have helped international students meet the challenges of writing in a second language and/or in a different academic culture.
Researcher- Having conducted and published research myself, I am familiar with the emotional as well as the intellectual work that goes into disseminating research.
Supervisor- Having supervised both MA and PhD students I have insider knowledge and understanding of the research process in universities and the requirements of dissertations and theses, particularly in relation to developing a literature review, situating the methodology and submitting ethics application forms.
