Teaching

I've been lecturer in Creative Writing and English Literature at Kingston University since late 2014, and am currently director of Writers' Centre Kingston. Generously supported by that institution, I’ve actively developed a specific, active, participatory pedagogy based on methodology and subject, over theory and content analysis. My intensive final year undergraduate module, Experiments and Innovations in Poetry, has won plaudits beyond the university, entering its sixth year in late 2020.

I've led multiple courses at Tate Modern, The Photographer's Gallery, Tate Britain and Poetry School and I’ve taught internationally with guest seminars and lectureships in Bangladesh, China, Mexico, Latvia, Norway, Lithuania, Austria, Peru, as well as participating in non-academic conferences including the International Literature Showcase and the Salzburg Global Seminars. I’ve led workshops, training sessions and presentations at The British Library, National Poetry Library, Korean Cultural Centre, Rest is Noise festival and the Universities of Edge Hill, Goldsmiths, Greenwich, Central Saint Martins.

Seminars / Conferences

I dislike academic conferences in general and avoid them where I can, but below is an incomplete list of some I have attended and participated in, some of them wonderful and surprising, others before i knew better.
