Staff from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences have received five nominations across the six categories of the fifth annual Brookes Union Teaching Awards.
The teaching awards celebrate the fantastic work that our staff do, with nominations and votes coming from Brookes students.
Professor Simon Kövesi was nominated in the Most Inspirational Lecturer category: "Teaching is not a popularity contest. It is about giving students the confidence to push themselves beyond their comfort zones, the self-belief to take on complexity with gusto, and the self-awareness to do better next time. In my neck of the academic woods, luckily enough, it is also about showing them routes through the most inspiring and transformative English Literature ever written. I'm hugely honoured to have been short-listed for this award."
