John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, with Dr Emma Mayhew

Dr Emma Mayhew was awarded the prestigious Sir Bernard Crick Award for Outstanding Teaching by John Bercow, Speaker of the House of Commons, at a ceremony in Sheffield's historic Cutlers' Hall last week. The judging panel awarded the prize on the basis of Emma's outstanding teaching and learning excellence, student support provision as well as successful innovation and leadership recognised by colleagues across the HE community.

This ceremony came just two weeks after she was awarded the RUSU Technological Innovation in Teaching Excellence Award for her use of screen capture and video feedback.

Emma said, "I am absolutely thrilled to win these awards, both of which are important in terms of increasing the profile of teaching and learning at Reading and supporting innovation across the HE sector".

Emma joined the Department of Politics and International Relations in 2007. She is currently Department Director of Teaching and Learning as well as Senior Tutor for the School of Politics, Economics and International Relations. She has recently become a University Teaching Fellow and Senior Fellow of the HEA.
