Developing Reader and Professor applications on the Teaching Pathway at UAL

This three part workshop is aimed at academic colleagues at UAL who are in the process of or considering applying for promotion to Reader or Professor in the next few academic years.

In this session:

This three-hour workshop will guide attendees through reviewing and developing their draft evidence of impact and reach.

Please note this is a structured session, not a drop in, and participants are expected to attend for the full duration. Hybrid participation is available for those who need it, though we strongly recommend attending in person where possible, as the activities are designed to work best in the room.

1. The first section will introduce the criteria for promotion through dialogue, discussion and reflective writing activities using worksheets provided during the session
2. The second will focus on identifying and drawing out the evidence (visible and hidden) needed for an application. Using both physical and digital spaces, participants will share and map existing achievements against the promotion criteria, helping to create an architecture for their application and a foundation on which to build.
3. The third will bring together the material developed across the workshop into a framework participants can take away and continue refining towards a future Readership or Professorship application.

His research critiques relationships between autobiographical memory and photography, ideas of ‘becoming rhizomatic’, assembling agency, nomadic thinking, and active blended learning, alongside ideas of belonging and critical pedagogies.
