I am currently a tutor on the Circular Economy Masterclass and deliver guest lectures across a variety of modules. Previously, I have taught across creative and cultural industries courses in business school contexts, with a focus on industrial practice, management and critical theoretical perspectives. I have also taught qualitative research methods at both the undergraduate and postgraduate level.
