I am a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advance-he.ac.uk\/news-and-views\/ntfs-2022-inclusive-education-through-community-building-and-student-empowerment\">National Teaching Fellow<\/a><\/span> and have been awarded \u201dOutstanding Teacher\u201d in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2019 by the Students Union. In 2022, I achieved the Westminster Learning and Teaching Award. The awards recognise my flexibility and commitment to enhancing the student learning experience in multiple ways, including knowledge exchange initiatives with local and international partners, comprehensive extra-curricular activities, and student collaboration projects. I have pioneered and directed various extra-curricular, staff-student projects, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/\"><u>Democratic Education Network<\/u><\/a> (DEN). In 2019, DEN was a runner-up for the Students\u2019 Experience Award at the prestigious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/education\/2019\/apr\/10\/student-experience-award-winner-and-runners-up\"><u>Guardian University Awards<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0Before embarking on the journey of DEN in 2016, I dedicated my efforts to various initiatives focused on students and staff, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/csdinternationalcommunityproject.wordpress.com\/2012\/11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>International Community Project<\/u><\/a> in 2012. The vision behind DEN&#8217;s launch was to provide students with a more compassionate, collaborative, and relevant educational experience. Our primary objective is cultivating a strong sense of community and mutual support among students and staff.<br \/>Additionally, we aim to advocate for democracy and innovation in education by implementing various initiatives. Some innovative teaching methods I have pursued include project-based learning and student-led activities, which have contributed to expanding knowledge. Furthermore, I have actively overseen the publication of magazines and books through DEN&#8217;s network, encouraging students to express themselves and connect with the broader community through their writing. In addition to these efforts, I have organised and facilitated numerous field trips, international workshops, and conferences to broaden our educational horizons and establish meaningful connections with local communities and global partners.<\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-e957699 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e957699\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-4a5b869\" data-id=\"4a5b869\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5ea67c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5ea67c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"866\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50-1024x866.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3667\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50-1024x866.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50-300x254.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50-768x650.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50-1536x1300.png 1536w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/den\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/25\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-26-at-10.33.50.png 2002w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-bcc628d\" data-id=\"bcc628d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-823f0ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"823f0ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=LrsE_nBLHq4&amp;ab_channel=DenUniversityofWestminster&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9390f3d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9390f3d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eb27717\" data-id=\"eb27717\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2fd16f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2fd16f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 style=\"text-align: center\"><b>The <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-university\/our-teaching\/westminster-centre-for-education-and-teaching-innovation\"><b><u>Centre for Education, Teaching Innovation<\/u><\/b><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-university\/equality-diversity-and-inclusion\"><u><b>Diversity, Inclusion, and Equalit<\/b>y<\/u><\/a> and <b>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster.ac.uk\/about-us\/our-university\/our-colleges-and-schools\/college-of-liberal-arts-and-sciences\"><u>College of Liberal Arts and Sciences<\/u><\/a> at the University of Westminster support DEN.

Westminster in London. I have taught and researched International Political Economy and Development for 28 years. I am a National Teaching Fellow and have been awarded \u201dOutstanding Teacher\u201d in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2019 by the Students Union and in 2022, I achieved the Westminster Learning and Teaching Award. The awards recognise my flexibility and commitment to enhancing the student learning experience in multiple ways, including knowledge exchange initiatives with local and international partners, comprehensive extra-curricular activities, and student collaboration projects. I have pioneered and directed various extra-curricular, staff-student projects, including the Democratic Education Network (DEN). In 2019 DEN was a runner-up for the Students\u2019 Experience Award at the prestigious Guardian University Awards.<\/p><p>DEN was established in 2016 with a vision to provide students with a more compassionate, collaborative, and relevant educational experience. The primary objective was to foster a sense of community and mutual support among students while championing democracy and innovation in education. We have explored innovative approaches to teaching and have encouraged knowledge growth through projects such as the publication of magazines, books, field trips, international workshops, and conferences. Through these initiatives, we have established links with local communities and global partners.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
