Mr Nelson Douglas

I have been a senior lecturer at Kingston University where I have been a faculty member since 2005, initially in the School of Art and Social Science. I completed my undergraduate degree at London College of Printing and Wolverhampton University. 

I have undertaken numerous community engagement development posts for local strategy authorities, charities, and statutory voluntary sectors organisations from 1995 to the present. Examples of the projects that I have engaged with are Citizens of Sanctuary, West Midlands Police Commissioner on Gang Violence, Creative People, Creative Spaces and the National Trust 

My research interests lie in the area of marginalised inner-city communities and the use of media and art as a tool of empowerment, from theory to design to implementation. I have also collaborated actively with researchers in several other disciplines of social science, criminology and arts development / funding institutions.
