As a UK-based, European-focused, Educational and Academic Developer, Will is deeply interested in the partnership between learners/educators to inform/enhance learning and teaching practices.

He fell in love with Ireland whilst working at Munster Technological University, where he contributed to the Teaching, Learning, Assessment and Student Experience agenda, including focussing on two institution-wide SATLE projects (co-creating Assessment and Feedback practices, and designing a development programme for early career academics) whilst also supporting colleagues across 30+ projects to introduce their own learning and teaching initiatives. His research interests include student-staff partnership; third space professionals; peer learning; and co-creation of assessment and feedback. He is on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Peer Learning and Chair of the European First Year Experience Network and Conference Series.
