Danielle Chavrimootoo

I am a Senior Lecturer in Learning and Teaching at LTEC and joined Kingston University in 2019. Before Kingston University, I worked as an Equality Diversity and Inclusion Partner/ Educational Developer at The University of Manchester. My role involved advising academic staff on embedding equality and diversity into pedagogical practice. I was proactive in developing institutional policy and practice to engage marginalised students. During my time at Manchester I was part of the "Inclusive Curriculum Working Group" and co-founded "The Race Roots and Resistance Research Group".

Prior to working at The University of Manchester I was appointed as the Inclusive Curriculum Practices Officer at Liverpool John Moore's University. I developed a university "Inclusive Curriculum Strategy" and was the Principal Investigator for the "Managing transition into higher education for Irish Students at LJMU Project". In addition I have worked as a Senior Lecturer in Initial Teacher Education for over seven years and also taught in the Post Compulsory Sector as a Lecturer in Health and Social Care specialising in Equality and Diversity. 

Research Interests

My research interests include developing culturally responsive pedagogy, embedding equality and diversity into teaching, learning and assessment practices and decolonising the curriculum.
