Dr Clive SealySenior Lecturer in Social Policy and Theory.
I like to teach on general social policy issues, such as benefits, health, housing and education. Students often do not see the importance of these issues to their lives, and my teaching aims to make these as relevant as possible to them, through a variety of interactive and imaginative teaching methods. My aim is to make social policy teaching as personal, engaging and relevant as possible within the academic context. I like to encourage students to think for themselves and develop their critical thinking skills.
