I’m Catherine Howell, born in Adelaide, S.A., and now based in Melbourne, Australia.
My current role is as Senior Lecturer in Teaching and Learning Development within the Centre for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne. Day to day, I am based in the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning’s Teaching and Learning Unit. My role balances involvement in CSHE projects and initiatives with provision of teaching and learning support at Faculty level.
I’ve taught literature and critical theory at the Universities of Queensland and Cambridge, and have worked as a curriculum developer, educational researcher, and e-learning specialist in higher education and the public sector.
In addition to my work on education and e-learning, I have a long-standing research interest in modern art, architecture, and design. After a long ‘literary’ detour, I’m finding that visual culture, particularly photography, is creeping back into my research.
