Biography

I’m a Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Educational Research and Development, where I undertake research and development into the use and role of technology in higher education. Previously, I held posts as Audiovisual Archivist at Amnesty International, Project Manager for Amnesty’s Digital Asset Management system and worked in Collections Management as Moving Image Archivist at the BFI National Film and Television Archive. I returned to my home town of Lincoln in 2007 after living in the USA, Japan and London.
