I teach on the MSc Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Biology programme, in particular modules ANIM5010 and ANIM5012, with a focus on zoo animal behaviour, welfare and management. I also contribute to other modules including ANIM5006 and ANIM5008, and supervise MSc project students (BIO505).I also teach undergraduate sessions, primarily on BIOL224 (Animal Behaviour and Welfare Field Course), BIOL227 (Animal Health and Welfare) and BIOL313 (Animal Welfare and Ethics), plus BSc project supervision.
