The artwork was inspired by a teaching aid I created for the module 'Writing London' at Birkbeck School of Creative Arts, Culture and Communication.

I am delighted that my artwork was selected in the Postgraduate Pedagogies cover art competition! Volume 5, Issue 1 is now available to download postgradpedagogies.lse.ac.uk/6/volume/5/i...
