At Abertay University’s School for Design and Informatics, I am involved in teaching on the following degrees:
In the 2023-2024 academic year, I hold a guest professorship in Digital Humanities at the University of Bergamo.
I am also a co-convener of the xCoAx School of X (summer doctoral school).
I welcome PhD Supervision inquiries from prospective doctoral students in all of my areas of interest. I’m happy to consider co-developing applications for funded PhD studentships with suitable candidates. Note that I am also involved on co-supervision at several other institutions in addition to my own.
