He would quite like to avoid the term "portfolio worker" but can't think of anything better to describe someone who works in arts administration, writes books on sailing and manages web sites for several companies including the country's foremost playing card retailer. He did a degree in business studies at Edinburgh University that involved large chunks of politics, economic history and psychology, then worked for 18 months as a research assistant tutoring in occupational psychology. After two years as a junior editor in the Stationery and Diary Division of HarperCollins the publishers, he returned to tutoring and did half a PhD using psychometric tests to help try to determine the growth potential of new businesses by studying the qualities of their founders. He might have done more than half a PhD if he had been able to find supervisors with more staying power and less of a penchant for prison life. Or maybe he wouldn't have. But, anyway, having run out of supervisors and enthusiasm, he cast around for work and is pleased to have found a variety that combines his interests in sailing and singing with his business background.

Focusing on areas such as clarity, style, and structure, my training programme incorporates peer-led feedback. By offering students the opportunity to read and respond to others' work, and to have their own work analysed - within a structured training programme - I encourage them to practise skills and knowledge essential to developing effective HE research, teaching, and general communication techniques.
