Teaching

I love teaching, and I really enjoy keeping in touch with former students as they go on to work in regulation, policy, advocacy and a wide range of other areas around the world. Most of my teaching is at LSE where I set up and run a specialist MSc Programme in Media and Communication Governance, but I also regularly lecture at Oxford, at the EUI in Florence and have recently given several lectures as visiting professor around the world.
