News and Events

Mentoring Advance HE TRP applicants has been an immensely rewarding aspect of my practice. I have mentored quite a few postgraduate researcher (PGR) educators working towards AFHEA recognition, drawing on my role as lead coordinator of PGR educator training at Queen Mary. Reviewing applications alongside mentoring has deepened my understanding of this work. It turns out the recurring challenge is not insufficient experience but articulating thinking, decision-making and motivation clearly and confidently. In its simplest expression, my impact as a mentor/reviewer is in helping educators find and express their professional educator voice and, through this, in contributing to the development of a culture of social justice.
