Writing Supervision

• I am a Programme Tutor in the MLitt Art Writing at the Glasgow School of Art. Between 2013 and 2018 I was Assistant Professor in Writing in the MA Fine Art at the University of Bergen, Faculty of Fine Art, Music and Design, where I supervised each year an average of ten projects by students at the intersections between writing and art, and developed skills to work with students who write in English as a second language.
