Do you have a personal message for students?: Having attended Film College and worked as a camera operator and editor in the nineties for various commercial video production companies, I returned to full time education as a mature student to pursue writing and to have an excuse just to read. Thanks to some very influential tutors and lecturers, my career and life changed dramatically and I have since left my camera behind for the endlessly fascinating world of political philosophy. In short, education can be profoundly life-changing and it should be the mission of every tutor and lecturer worth their salt to aspire to make this possible for their students.
