You might even see me in the Dance Studio on St Lukes campus &#8211; as well as taking a lead on creativity and transdisciplinarity, I\u2019m the dance education specialist in the department. In fact, my PhD is in creativity in dance education \u2013 I have a background as a professional dance artist which is woven into my academic work. For me embodiment is at the heart of learning whether in dance or any other discipline.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The best thing about working at Exeter is the amazing colleagues who I\u2019m privileged to collaborate with \u2013 within SoE we all share a common passion to ignite learning in our own way, and to research how best to do this. The staff team genuinely supports each other in achieving that. I also really value what our M-level and PG students bring to the department \u2013 I learn from different cultural perspectives and ways of thinking every day.<\/p><p> <\/p><h4><strong>What will you see me doing?<\/strong><\/h4><p> <\/p><p>You will always see me moving! Whether I\u2019m teaching dance in the studio or Education Studies in a lecture theatre, I will always do that in an embodied way and will encourage my students to do the same. You\u2019ll also find me at my desk in NC121 working on research projects, bids and writing. My latest co-edited book is all about how we might change education and do things differently \u2013 it\u2019s open access and you can read it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-031-52973-3\">https:\/\/link.springer.com\/book\/10.1007\/978-3-031-52973-3<\/a> . You might also find me in our Student Staff Liaison Committee meetings where I get to hear about student life and help respond to any issues. And lastly, you won\u2019t see this, but sometimes I won\u2019t be on campus as my research tends to be international. So I occasionally get to jet off, especially to Europe, to collaborate with colleagues on educational research like this: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.road-steamer.eu\">https:\/\/www.road-steamer.eu<\/a><\/p><p> <\/p><h4><strong>What else do I get up to?<\/strong><\/h4><p> <\/p><p>You may see me running some extra curricular dance sessions on campus. Elsewhere you might find me, in the summer months, at Moretonhampstead Swimming Pool, where I\u2019m a Trustee: <a href=\"https:\/\/moretonpool.co.uk\">https:\/\/moretonpool.co.uk<\/a> If you fancy a swim in an outdoor heated swimming pool May to September, nestled into the Dartmoor hills, 12 miles outside of Exeter, do come along!<\/p><p> <\/p><h4><strong>I&#8217;m always happy to talk about&#8230;<\/strong><\/h4><p> <\/p><p>Creativity and the arts, and how we build provision for young people \u2013 I\u2019m truly passionate about how the the arts in all their forms can make the world a better place J. I also love to talk about New Zealand \u2013 my partner is a New Zealander and my two teenagers are dual nationality &#8211; which is brilliant and complex at the same time. So I\u2019m always happy to hear about your international experiences and identities and how you blend these into Exeter life.<\/p><p> <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"761\" height=\"459\" class=\"wp-image-355\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Kerry-2-small-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Kerry-2-small-1.jpg 761w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Kerry-2-small-1-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/figure><p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-3711\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse3711\" aria-controls=\"collapse3711\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> Dr Nicky Bremner<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse3711\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-371\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-3711\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-547 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> I love working at Exeter because I\u2019m surrounded by people from different backgrounds, languages, and cultures. This gives me motivation and energy, and generally enriches me as a person. The University of Exeter is a very positive, supportive, nourishing place in which you are able to be yourself. More generally, although I don\u2019t actually live in Exeter, I love coming to Exeter. As soon as I arrive at St David\u2019s station or I drive into St Luke\u2019s, I feel like I\u2019ve come into another world: quiet, peaceful and friendly, where I can leave the hustle and bustle behind of where I live (close to Bristol). I adore Devon and the surrounding areas, especially the coastal areas.<\/p><h4>What will you see me doing?<\/h4><p>I am Programme Leader for the MEd TESOL, so TESOL students will see me a lot, not just in classes but in events like the TESOL Research Day and the Student-Staff Quiz. I also engage a lot with the TESOL student representatives and like to try and do what I can to maximise their student experience. In addition to the Programme Lead role, I am also \u201cEducation Lead\u201d for the School of Education, so non-TESOL students will probably run into me at some point, and at the very least on our Success for All module. I\u2019m involved in things like adding new modules, adapting existing programmes, and working on international student recruitment activities.<\/p><h4>What else do I get up to?<\/h4><p>Teaching and learning activities make up about half my time. The rest of the time I\u2019m involved in various other things. I supervise and assess PhD students, I mentor more junior members of staff, and I\u2019m involved in research. Like many academics, I\u2019m constantly writing and trying to get my work published in international journals and applying for external funding to work on research projects (the cycle of acceptance and sometimes rejection is part of being an academic!). I\u2019m really interested in educational change management, especially when it comes to \u201clearner-centred education\u201d (most of my publications and research is linked to this in some way). I take any opportunities to travel abroad and collaborate with international partners. Recently I\u2019ve been to Mexico and Indonesia, and I\u2019m hoping to extend the research to Japan, Vietnam and Tanzania in the near future.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-549 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-300x148.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-1024x505.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo-768x378.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/nicky-photo.jpg 1039w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p>Outside the University, I like to keep as fit and active as possible. I\u2019m currently walking\/running the South-West Coastal Path, a 1000-kilometre coastal route from Dorset (near Bournemouth) all the way round to Minehead in Somerset. I do the path little-by-little and I\u2019ve done about a quarter of it already, including from Bournemouth to Exeter and on past Torquay! I love dogs and have a four-year old sprocker spaniel called Bobby, who loves to run and keeps me fit! I like cycling too and generally being outside. I\u2019m a big football fan -even though it often makes me suffer- and I care deeply about my club Newcastle United. I try to travel as much as I can, especially to Latin America where I lived for 6 years (Mexico and then Colombia).

I used to be an online learning support officer, before doing my PhD on primary school children\u2019s talk and collaboration around and via computers. I am originally from the Netherlands (I did my PhD there), before moving to the UK to work as a Research Fellow at the Open University in 2003, and later as a senior research fellow at Cambridge University. I started working at Exeter University since 2009, so have been walking around at St Luke\u2019s for a loooooong time!<\/p><p>Dialogue and collaboration with and without technology has always been my main research interest, although recently, I have become more and more interested in the potentials (and potential issues) of AI in education. However, the importance of dialogue is not something I have forgotten, and I am thus very interested in wider dialogues about AI and technology in education, in particular about the ways in which technology impacts pedagogy, and vice versa.<\/p><p>I love working in Exeter because we have amazing students and wonderful colleagues. Everyone loves collaborating and sharing ideas, that help to inspire our research and teaching. I love that our students are from all over the world, bringing interesting perspectives from their own personal backgrounds and cultures.<\/p><h4><strong>What will you see me doing?<\/strong><\/h4><p>I teach on the MA Technology and Education Futures, in our two core modules (Technology, learning &amp; pedagogy and Digital Education Futures), as well as on other MA modules.

I have taught at primary, secondary, adult education, undergraduate and post graduate levels.\u00a0 I love travelling and have lived and worked in a range of countries.<\/p><p>I love working in Exeter because the city is close to beautiful scenery such as the sea and the moors. Exeter has the amenities of a city (a museum, a Cathedral, galleries, music, and theatre) but the friendliness and compactness of a town. I love working at the university with a wonderfully supportive team of colleagues and fantastic students who are passionate about education.<\/p><h4>What will you see me doing?<\/h4><p>You might see me lecturing on a range of courses or meeting up with students in Cross Keys.\u00a0 I love meeting up with students to support them in my RERO and ALSS roles and cake and coffee keep me going!<\/p><h4>What else do I get up to?<\/h4><p>As well as travelling, I love to sing. I sing in a local gospel choir, Soul of the City Exeter, as well as in a local Jazz group. You may have seen my choir on the BBC Gospel choir of the year competition in January 2024.

lecturer in languages education. I\u2019ve had various roles in the School of Education since I started working here in 2010, including Head of ITE (teacher training) and Programme Director for all of the PGCE programmes in turn. Now, I work almost exclusively on the Secondary Modern Languages PGCE \u2013 my absolute passion! Before I came here, I spent 23 years as a French and Spanish teacher in comprehensive schools in London and Devon. I loved teaching and never thought I\u2019d find a job I enjoyed more. It turns out, helping amazing trainee teachers to become amazing teachers is an absolute joy!<\/p><p>I love working here because I\u2019m surrounded by dedicated, compassionate and inspirational colleagues. I was quite nervous when I started but found my new community to be so welcoming and supportive. It\u2019s great to share ideas and work collaboratively, and this happens all the time.<\/p><p>I can\u2019t not mention my students here; I am in awe of their determination, resilience and talent and tell them regularly that the future is looking bright for their students.<\/p><h4>What will you see me doing?<\/h4><p>You\u2019ll see me teaching in Baring Court most of the time, when I\u2019m not out on school visits. My office is right by the staff kitchen in Baring Court, so I am frequently (and willingly) distracted when I\u2019m there.<\/p><p>I have a few other responsibilities: I\u2019m lucky to teach on the Education Leadership module on the MA Education, where I can use my coaching training to deliver a session on coaching and mentoring. I help coordinate PGCE interviews too, and enjoy meeting candidates and finding out their story and what led them to train to be a teacher. In my role as Fitness to Practise Lead, I often work with colleagues from the Medical School on campus.<\/p><p>You might also see me at one of the gym classes run by the St Luke\u2019s Sports Centre \u2013 my current favourite is Pilates and I\u2019m psyching myself up to try Circuits.<\/p><h4>What else do I get up to?<\/h4><p>I\u2019m usually outside: walking our dog, on a beach, up a mountain, or down by the river. I have an allotment by the river where I can switch off, listen to the birds and fo<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-655 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Dinah-2-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Dinah-2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Dinah-2.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>cus on controlling the weeds.

I have worked in Exeter for almost 20 years and have never looked back. I joined as a member of staff working on our teacher education courses and completing a PhD and have grown my academic career from there. Exeter is a lovely city, and being someone who loves both the outdoors and the opportunity to go to music and comedy gigs (Exeter even has its own comedy festival now during a weekend in June \u2013 who needs the Edinburgh fringe?). Exeter is the perfect combination of a city with easy access to beautiful countryside and also lots to see and do. Having said that, I now live about an hour away near the gorgeous South Devon coast as my partner teaches in a local school \u2013 so now I go to the beach a lot instead!<\/p><h4>What will you see me doing?<\/h4><p>You will mostly see me popping up at meetings and events, as I am currently in the role of Head of Department for the School of Education. You might also see me at research events, particularly related to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exeter.ac.uk\/research\/centres\/transdisciplinary-education\/\">Centre for Research in Transdisciplinary Education<\/a> which I co-lead, or the Environmental Justice Education Research Network and STEM Education Research Network. I also pop up every now and again teaching on our teacher education programmes, particularly in Secondary Science, and on our MA modules.<\/p><h4>What else do I get up to?<\/h4><p>You won\u2019t spot me doing this but I may well be beavering away in the office on research projects and writing papers. My research focuses on science and environmental education, using creative approaches and a \u2018material-dialogic\u2019 lens. I\u2019m also currently working with colleagues from Oxford, Cambridge and Nottingham on a book about signature pedagogies in teacher education. Outside work, I will most likely be hanging out with my family, at the Climbing Hangar, the beach or playing board games!<\/p><h4>I am always happy to talk about&#8230;<\/h4><p>Education \u2013 science education, environmental education, different ways of thinking and doing education, educational theory and philosophy\u2026<\/p><p>My first degree was in Earth Sciences though so if you want to talk about rocks I would be very happy to oblige! Also stand-up comedy, the Off-menu podcast, board games of all kinds, and my cat. If required, thanks to my oldest child, I now have the capacity to talk about premier league football, largely as it relates to Liverpool FC.<\/p><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ea-card sp-ea-single\"><h3 class=\"ea-header\"><a class=\"collapsed\" id=\"ea-header-37113\" role=\"button\" data-sptoggle=\"spcollapse\" data-sptarget=\"#collapse37113\" aria-controls=\"collapse37113\" href=\"#\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"ea-expand-icon eap-icon-ea-expand-plus\"><\/i> Dr Jason Hill<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"sp-collapse spcollapse \" id=\"collapse37113\" data-parent=\"#sp-ea-371\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"ea-header-37113\"> <div class=\"ea-body\"><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-729 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-705x1024.jpg 705w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-768x1116.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-1057x1536.jpg 1057w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-1410x2048.jpg 1410w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/soestudentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/479\/2024\/08\/Jason-scaled.jpg 1762w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/>Hello Everyone, I\u2019m Jason.

My PhD explored interactions between attention, arousal, mindfulness, and wellbeing, and before this, I worked across multiple clinical settings and roles.<\/p><h4>What else do I get up to?<\/h4><p>I\u2019m an avid swimmer and musician (not at the same time, unfortunately), and away from work I\u2019ll often be attending a gig, trying to keep fit, travelling, or spending time with family and friends in the wonderful city of Exeter. I\u2019m also interested in mindfulness practice and often get involved in community wellbeing projects around the South West.<\/p><h4>I am always happy to talk about&#8230;<\/h4><p>Cognitive psychology; mental health and wellbeing; mindfulness; research methods; widening access to higher education; community wellbeing projects; music!
