As a Lecturer in Fashion and Textiles, you'll take responsibility for teaching, curriculum development and on-going scholarship within the Fashion and Textiles curriculum area of the Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at UAL's School of Pre-Degree Studies. Working collaboratively within a course team, you'll deploy your specialist expertise to develop pedagogy and curriculum in innovative and critical directions, while providing pastoral support, and monitoring the progress and attendance, of a year group of students.
The role covers rigorous and fair assessment, academic and pastoral student support, and pedagogic inquiry focused on student engagement, experience and progression. You'll stay abreast of research and developments in your subject area to keep the curriculum at the forefront of critical creative and professional practice, engage with debates on decolonising the curriculum and awarding gaps, and contribute to strategic planning, quality monitoring and course committees across the School.
