We're very pleased to announce that Dr Sasha Garwood will be joining us from September as a Teaching Associate on the Foundation Arts!
Read a brief introduction to their teaching experience and research below:
Having worked at Nottingham as a Teaching Affiliate in the School of English for two years, I'm overwhelmingly delighted to be joining the Foundation Arts team as a permanent Teaching Associate. I'm excited about working as part of a small team, developing teaching, and working in a genuinely interdisciplinary environment. My new role at Nottingham is teaching focused. Alongside my teaching in the School of English, I have taught History at the University of Sheffield, where I also hold a research fellowship.
My interdisciplinary research focuses on gender, sex and food as a nexus of cultural anxieties, and my recent monograph focuses specifically on early modern English noblewomen's experiences and understanding of self-starvation, placing these in a wider cultural context of shifting systems of authority and identity, and understandings of embodiment, gender and sexuality. I bring this to my teaching through a focus on questions of equality, diversity, and representation, and a commitment to a plurality of voices.
I'm really looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to the development and expansion of Foundation Arts. I am also a big fan of the University Park wildlife. You can see some of my pictures on my Twitter feed here!
