About

I teach on English Literature undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and my teaching tends to focus on 18th-century literature and culture, Black and Asian British literature and culture, and academic writing skills. I also lead two University projects: the Writing and Oral Skills (WOS) Project, which helps students to enhance their academic writing and speaking skills, and the Kingston University Reading Group (KURG) Project. The KURG uses shared reading and discussion to help students, staff and members of the local community to discuss topics such as race, culture, diversity and inclusivity; topics that many of us find it difficult to talk about. I am also an Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity (EDI) Champion, and the Chair of the Race Equality Charter (REC) Self-Assessment Team; and in May 2017, I was awarded the SU Staff and Student prize for Outstanding Contribution to Teaching and Learning at Kingston University.
