Teaching & Supervision

Teaching & supervision

I teach across media and communication, digital discourse, journalism and research methods, combining critical theory with hands-on digital and media-production practice. My teaching connects rigorous scholarship with the realities of contemporary media, and I supervise research from undergraduate to doctoral level.

Teaching Philosophy

How I teach

I believe teaching should be critical, dialogic and connected to the world. I create learning environments where students interrogate media power, engage primary sources and produce their own analyses and media artefacts. I integrate digital tools and real case studies so that theory becomes usable, and I treat mentorship as central to intellectual growth.

Technology in Teaching

Tools & practice

I incorporate digital research tools (NVivo, Gephi, Voyant, Python) and media-production technologies into teaching, enabling students to move fluently between critical analysis and practical creation. I also integrate responsible engagement with AI tools, foregrounding critical media literacy.
