Who I am and what I do …

I am a lecturer in applied linguistics at King's College, London University, and a freelance consultant, trainer and photographer. I am based in London and Cheshire. Alongside my teaching and research in written communication and corpus applications in language education, I have special interests in the evaluation and documentation of social projects.

In my consultancy practice, I have provided training and consultancy services for the The Council of Europe, the British Council, Oxfam, and the UK government's Department for International Development, and have worked on projects in Eastern and Central Europe Europe, the Caucasus region, China and South Asia. At King's I am involved in research and teaching in applied linguistics, run an undergraduate programme in corpus based language studies and MA courses ourses in Managing and Evaluating Innovation, and the teaching of English for Academic Purposes.

I am able to provide professional photographic documentation services. Images such as those shown on this page can make a major contribution to an organisation's analysis and, by providing publication quality images, can complement and extend advocacy arguments, and provide a visual baseline record for use in later impact assessment.

I lived in Poland from 2002 to 2006, Sri Lanka between May 1998 and July 2002, and before that worked in Eastern and Central Europe (1992 to 1998), and China and France. I have taught in universities in the UK, China and France, as well as in adult and primary education

My current major activities include:

• the development of a corporate Project Management and Evaluation training programme for the British Council. This will be delivered face-to-face and via a Supported Open Learning internet environment
• the development of a photographic archive of the work of the Teatr Polski in Warsaw
• a photographic and documentation of the work of community groups associated with the new King's Place Arts venue in London's King's Cross.
