I have extensive experience delivering classes and seminars, one-to-one or one-to-two tutorials, and large-scale lectures. I’ve designed and taught numerous undergraduate courses on Old English literature, Middle English literature, and early modern literature. I have set and marked a wide range of formative and summative assessments for undergraduate- and master’s-level students. I’ve also administered undergraduate admissions interviews and run an Oxford college’s English admissions process.
Beyond day-to-day teaching, I’ve taught specialist final-year undergraduate classes on ‘the material text’, convened an interdisciplinary session on medieval reading practices for beginning postgraduates, and run courses in palaeography, transcription, and codicological working methods for postgraduates on Oxford’s master’s courses in English 650–1550 and in medieval studies. For some years I lectured at the Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School for graduate students, researchers and technologists. I enjoy using medieval manuscripts in my teaching and was a Teaching Intern at the Bodleian Library in the 2014–15 academic year.
I’m accredited as an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. My portfolio for this accreditation was a practice-led study of the challenges but also opportunities offered by groups of students from a range of educational backgrounds.
Outside formal university teaching I’ve run taster sessions for secondary school students and have done consultancy work creating recordings of Middle English literature read aloud for multiple exhibitions. This experience has in turn enriched my normal teaching work (see my contact details on the homepage here if you would like to contact me for recording work!).
