Podcasts about course leader

My guest for this show is Konstantinos Pappas, Course Leader and serious entertainer! As he puts it, sometimes teachers have to be actors, even clowns. And he has a point. Last time we talked about voice; now let's talk about performance. How do we grab attention and keep it through a long lesson? How do we make dry concepts come alive? And is this approach really practical for teachers? Where's the line - and do we even need one? Let's talk about all of it.

In Illustration and Heritage (Bloomsbury, 2024), Rachel Emily Taylor explores the re-materialisation of absent, lost, and invisible stories through illustrative practice and examines the potential role of contemporary illustration in cultural heritage. Heritage is a 'process' that is active and takes place in the present. In the heritage industry, there are opposing discourses and positions, and illustrators are a critical voice within the field. Grounding discussions in concepts fundamental to the illustrator, the book examines how the historical voice might be 'found' or reconstructed. Rachel Emily Taylor uses her own work and other illustrators' projects as case studies to explore how the making of creative work – through the exploration of archival material and experimental fieldwork – is an important investigative process and engagement strategy when working with heritage. What are the similar functions of heritage and illustration? How can an illustrator 'give voice' to a historical person? How can an illustrator disrupt an archive or museum? How can an illustrator represent a historical landscape or site? This book is a contribution to the expanding field of illustration research that focusses on its position in heritage practice. Taylor examines the illustrator's role within the field, while positioning it alongside the disciplines of museology, anthropology, archaeology, performance, and fine art. Dr Rachel Emily Taylor is an illustrator, artist, researcher, and is Course Leader on BA Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts. She uses interdisciplinary research methods drawn from theatre, archaeology, history, and anthropology, in both the analysis and making of practical work. Jen Hoyer is Technical Services and Electronic Resources Librarian at CUNY New York City College of Technology. She is co-author of What Primary Sources Teach: Lessons for Every Classroom and The Social Movement Archive. Learn more about your ad choices.

My guests this week are Dustyn Martincich & Phoebe Rumsey who have edited and authored (along with a number of other contributors) a recent book titled Dance In Musical Theatre — A History of the Body in Movement. As anyone who has listened to this podcast regularly knows, much like the authors of this book, I believe that dance has always been one of the most important and key elements of musical theater—from Oklahoma! and West Side Story to Spring Awakening and Hamilton. By pulling together a range of diverse authors and perspectives, this book not only tracks the emergence of the dancer as a key figure in the genre, it also connects the contributions of past and present choreographers from the beginning of the 20th century and right up to today.  Dustyn Martincich is a Professor of Theatre and Dance at Bucknell University. Her research interests involve investigating narrative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary possibilities in theatre and dance performance and musical theatre dance studies that focuses on the work of the ensemble. She has movement directed, choreographed, and performed for concert dance and theatrical stages. She has been recently published in Studies in Musical Theatre, and in edited collections like Gender Sex, and Sexuality in Musical Theatre (edited by Kelly Kessler), Dueling Grounds: Revolution and Revelation in the Musical Hamilton (edited by Paul Laird and Mary Jo Lodge), and Toni Morrison: Forty Years in The Clearing (edited by Carmen Gillespie). Phoebe Rumsey is a Senior Lecturer in Musical Theatre and Course Leader of the BA (Hons) Musical Theater degree at the University of Portsmouth in the United Kingdom. She received her PhD from The Graduate Center, CUNY, and holds an MA in Performance Studies from NYU, an MA in Theatre from UNLV, and a BFA in Contemporary Dance from Simon Fraser University. A scholar and practitioner, her research has been published in The Routledge Companion to Theatre and Politics, Studies in Musical Theatre, The Routledge Companion to the Contemporary Musical and Reframing The Musical: Race, Culture, and Identity (Palgrave). She is the author of Embodied Nostalgia: Social Dance, Communities and the Choreographing of Musical Theatre (Routledge). Along with her engagement in academic studies Dr. Rumsey has worked extensively as a performer and choreographer. How to become a PATRON of Broadway Nation!

Have you considered going back to university and doing a Master's Degree in order to become more employable within the sector?   Perhaps you've looked at many programmes and wondered if they are tooling you up with the right skills employers value.   In today's podcast, we're speaking with Dr Stephen Green who's the course leader for an exciting new Master's programme, designed and delivered in partnership with Conservation Careers, to train you in the core skills used by professionals day-to-day.   We discuss who the new MSc Conservation Project Management at Newquay University Center is for. We also chat about the emphasis on core conservation skills - such as project management, communications and fundraising - and finally explore the programme's flexibility; allowing students to pursue various conservation paths and receive career development support.  Stephen then discusses his career journey with us, explaining what it's like to be a lecturer in zoology and course leader within a University, and how he got there.  Finally he shares his career advice for people like you who might be seeking to follow in his footsteps.   It's a Master's musing, snake studying and employment enhancing podchat.   Enjoy.  

Why is communications so important for conservationists? What communications skills are employers are looking for? And how can you start developing these skills, today? We answer these questions and more in this special edition of the Conservation Careers Podcast. Sir David Attenborough said that "Conservation is now a communications challenge". Awareness of this challenge is growing rapidly and it's something we keep coming back to in conversations with podcast guests and in our communities at CC. Joining me for a deep dive into the importance of communications for conservationists are two guests from Team CC. Kristi Foster is our Head of Programmes, and Lloyd Gofton is our Head of Marketing and 'Communications for Conservation Projects' Course Leader. Each of shares our background in communications and experience with communications in the conservation sector. We answer questions like: Why is communications so important for conservationists? What skills are employers looking for, that we can develop in ourselves as aspiring or professional conservationists? We also share some tips about what you can do today to develop, polish and refine some of these skills - to have more impact and to become more employable. It's a fun, honest and inspiring conversation. Enjoy!

Social work is a demanding role and even under the best of circumstances, as social workers support individuals to improve life opportunities, they will face difficulties and stresses associated with their work. Andy McClenaghan is joined by Dr Jennifer Simpson and Sam Pulman to explore the theme of resilience in social work. Jennifer is Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Course Leader for MA Advanced Social Work at Nottingham Trent University and Sam previously worked as a frontline social worker with children and families, and as a social work manager before embarking on her doctoral studies. Both are closely involved with the work of the Social Workers' Educational Trust.First the conversation considers how social workers can withstand and recover from the pressures and stresses they face. Then the discussion moves on to examine whether a focus on resilience gives an easy out for organisations which overburden and stretch their social workers beyond what is manageable and ask if resilience as an individual quality is really what we should be focused on.

Why do beer bottles and cans look the way they do? Do we choose beers only with our tastebuds... or are we more influenced by branding and marketing than we care to admit? Ben Dunning is Course Leader & Senior Lecturer BA(Hons) Graphic Design (Visual Communication and Illustration) at University of West London. So, when it comes to design he knows his stuff. He's also a good friend of mine, my brother-in-law and a beer lover. So we came up with an idea. Wouldn't it be fun to pick 3 beers each and talk about why they look the way they do? With Ben's expertise he could weave in some design theory and together we could analyse the bottles and cans we choose to drink in an entirely new and revealing way. I had a feeling this would be fun and fascinating and it really is. From legend beers and local upstarts to infamous newcomers and jump-out-at-you-from-the-beer-fridge curveballs, they all have a design story... and they've probably all been telling you things (subconsciously) that you didn't even realise. Grab a beer, find a comfy spot and have a listen - you will never look at a beer quite the same way again!

Can you train your clients (or yourself) to maximize strength while being a high-performance endurance athlete? How can you design an optimal strength training program for a client involved in athletic events? Dr. James Fisher is a Course Leader and Senior Lecturer for the School of Sport, Health, and Social Sciences at Southampton Solent University in the UK. He specializes in exercise physiology, biomechanics, and resistance training. James is an active researcher publishing numerous peer-reviewed articles relating to health and fitness. Plus, he is also quite the endurance athlete himself, so he brings insight from both sides of the coin! In this previously High-Intensity Business Members-only episode, James and I dive into the world of transforming endurance athletes through high-intensity resistance training — we talk about consultative approaches, exercise selection, frequency and volume, as well as how proper strength training benefits endurance athletes, facilitating improved flexibility, injury prevention, and enhanced performance, among other things. If you want your fitness studio to stand out above the rest and attract high-ticket, high-performance athletes as clients, this episode is for you! ***

Dr. Sojin Lim is a Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor, Course Leader for both MA North Korean Studies and MA Asia Pacific Studies, and Co-Director of the International Institute of Korean Studies (IKSU) at the University of Central Lancashire. She works as Co-Editor of the ‘Routledge Research on Korea' series and is also one of the Editors-in-Chief at Asia Pacific Viewpoint (Wiley). She is the author of articles and book chapters on sustainable development, public policy and political economy. She recently published a co-edited book Routledge Handbook of Contemporary South Korea (2021). She frequently discusses changes in the Korea Peninsula in media interviews, such as appearing on BBC.   Our conversation was about South Korea's economic and societal development. It was enriched by Sojin's many personal recollections of growing up in a country that was fighting authoritarian rule. We discussed what “the miracle on the Han River” actually means and how the “new village movement” affected the people of South Korea. We looked at foreign aid and the effectiveness of neo-liberal policies. We also questioned the role of culture in all of this. More broadly we explored the idea of altruism, aid, and gift-giving. We then discussed North Korea and whether aid or sanctions are the most effective policies for what Sojin sees as a fragile state. Finally, we looked at the field of Korean Studies more broadly and how the discipline is changing over time.   Dr. Sojin Lim's Recent Publications Website: https://www.uclan.ac.uk/academics/dr-sojin-lim  “South korean Popular Culture in the Global Context: Beyond the Fandom,” Routledge (edited) (2022) “Routledge Handbook of Contemporary South Korea”, Routledge (co-edited) (2021)  “Assessing the Landscape of Taiwan and Korean Studies in Comparison,” BRILL (co-edited) (2021)   Korea Deconstructed by David Tizzard Get in touch: datizzard@swu.ac.kr Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=62047873 Watch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidTizzard Listen on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/co/podcast/korea-deconstructed/id1587269128?l=en Listen on Spotify: https://koreadeconstructed.libsyn.com/ Artwork: Chan https://www.instagram.com/chans_design/?hl=en Music: disorientalz https://www.instagram.com/disorientalz/?hl=en

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Éadaoin Agnew, where we discuss her research into Victorian writers of colour (particularly within India, featuring writers who published in English). We discuss the need for decolonising the curriculum in all areas of the academy, how literary studies is still Western-centric, and how institutional barriers like educational policy problematise efforts to address colonial histories.About my guest: Éadaoin is a Senior Lecturer and the Course Leader for English Literature at Kingston University. She specialises in the Victorian period, and has a particular interest in the literature of the British empire. In both her teaching and research, she assumes a transnational and global approach to the nineteenth-century, although my research focuses largely on the Indian subcontinent. She has produced a scholarly edition of two early nineteenth-century travel texts and is currently working on transnational anti-colonial discourses in fin-de-siècle India.
