My proposed question.
How can I embed a sense of social purpose (through making) into the course I teach on – GB&I BA (Hons)?
Introductory text
from Unit 1 of the PgCert in Academic Practice
My name is Sarah Mansell. I’ve worked as a graphic designer for 23 years, graduating from Kingston University and studying for a post graduate laureate at the Jan van Eyck Akademie in the Netherlands. I began my career in corporate branding & literature while teaching at LCP. I’ve specialised in retail design for the last 15 years working as the deputy to the Head of Design at Marks & Spencer. My professional experience informs my teaching on Graphic Branding & Identity BA (Hons) and Professional Practice a cross-school unit undertaken by all second year students at LCC.
As a Mum to three young children I am particularly interested in compassionate pedagogy and how to implement it into my teaching practice. I am also an insulin dependent diabetic since the age of 4 and feel passionate about disability, inclusivity & access for all.
