Teaching

I teach undergraduate courses and supervise MSc dissertations in the School of Social Science and Humanities. I also supervise final year BSc dissertations for students on Loughborough Psychology courses in the School of Sports, Exercise and Health sciences. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Current undergraduate courses:

• Principles of Social Research Methods: a mandatory course introducing all first year students to fundamentals of research methodology in the social sciences.
• Media Landscapes: introducing first-year students to critical and professional perspectives on film, entertainment, news media, games, and the creative industries.
• Social Interaction (syllabus) (2019-2020): an advanced level course introducing students to the practicalities and methodological basis for studying human social interaction.

Current graduate courses:

• Applied Conversation Analysis: a graduate-level intensive course preparing MSc students to use of conversation analysis for their own practical, applied research projects.
• Key Debates in Digital Media & Society (2019-2020): a student-led interactive debate course covering key issues of online privacy, mass disinformation, and digital citizenship.

Workshops

I run regular in-person (and recently, online, international) workshops on interaction research methods with the Discourse and Rhetoric Group at Loughborough including:

• Conversation Analysis for Beginners
• Advanced Conversation Analysis
• Conversation Analysis and Healthcare Interactions

I have also developed an online course on Digital Transcription for Interaction Analysis.

PhD Supervision

I currently co-supervise five PhD students and welcome inquiries about PhD and undergraduate supervision that relate to my research interests.
