Teaching activities

As a research active, teaching focused academic, Steven recognizes the importance of providing students with a rich learning experience by using both disciplinary and pedagogic research in his teaching.

Steven views academic knowledge and practice as inseparable, with empowerment a key factor to learning, and therefore seeks to create productive learning environments using ‘real life’ case studies.
