Lucy Panesar

I am a Lecturer in Higher Education at the Centre for the Study of Higher Education. In this role, I contribute to teaching, personal tutoring and assessing on the Associate Fellowship Scheme and the Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education. I am also a mentor and reviewer on the Route to Recognition for Experienced Staff.  

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, experienced in supporting university staff to enhance their teaching practices and gain recognition for this. I am passionate about inclusivity and ensuring that all students get to have the best possible experience and outcomes from their time at university, and that they also develop more equitable and inclusive practices within their own subject disciplines.  

Prior to joining the University of Kent, I was at University of the Arts London where I worked in partnership with students and staff to embed principles of racial and climate justice into curricula and teaching practices. I also led Knowledge Exchange projects in collaboration with external organisations. This included a project with Wikimedia UK, students and staff to review and edit Wikipedia articles related to various subject disciplines and the local area, through a decolonial lens.
