Spotlight on... Professor Parama Chaudhury

Professor Parama Chaudhury This week we meet Parama Chaudhury, Pro-Vice Provost (Education - Student Academic Experience), who chats to us about co-founding the Centre for Teaching and Learning, her love for cricket and latest projects. What is your role and what does it involve?. I have three different roles - Pro Vice Provost (Education - Student Academic Experience), Professor (Teaching) in Economics and Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTaLE). As the names suggest, all these roles are to do with education! For the first role, I work with faculties, departments and programmes to develop education action plans to respond to student feedback through surveys, SSCCs, continuous module dialogue and so on. As CTaLE Director, I oversee our work supporting academics to test out and introduce different techniques and technologies in economics education, widening participation initiatives and education consultancy - which includes designing and delivering training for government, the public and private sectors. As a Professor, I have the great pleasure of teaching our wonderful students in the Economics (and joint degree) degrees! How long have you been at UCL and what was your previous role?. I've been here since 2011, having taught at Oxford, Dartmouth and Yale before that.
