I have taught at both Manchester University and Manchester Metropolitan University; National Taiwan Normal University; Poitiers University; The Open University; National Taiwan University and KIMEP University and have presented and lectured in universities across the world throughout my career.
I designed numerous courses for National Taiwan University between 2000 and 2016 in the areas of Literature, Biblical Studies, History, Creative Writing, Dissertation Writing, English Language, Film Adaptation, Paratext and Cultural Studies. My teaching is based on the Educational Psychological methods developed during my M.Ed. work in metacognitive strategies (2000). Throughout my time at National Taiwan University, I received outstanding teaching scores and two awards. My average score for National Taiwan University’s three-year research, teaching, service and student evaluations from 2000-2016 was 97%.
When I joined KIMEP University in 2019 I developed courses in Screenwriting, Rhetoric for the Environment, Shakespeare in Business Contexts, American Literature and Identity, Psychology and Academic Writing for Social Sciences: bringing my teaching portfolio score to seventy-seven different courses. Although I have taught through lectures, workshops and seminars, both online, using Moodle and Zoom, and offline, I most enjoy small group seminars and supervisions that allow more time for depth of engagement.
I have supervised numerous graduate and undergraduate students in the areas of Cultural Adaptation, Literary Afterlives and Film and Screen Studies. My interest in supervising in these areas remains live, but I would also encourage students to consider researching in the areas that are key to my current research interests in Environmental Humanities, Animal Studies, Memoir and philosophies and applications of Humour
