National Teaching Fellows 2012 Sara Holmes MBE Director of the Dental Academy University of Portsmouth When Sara Holmes joined the University as a Lecturer in 1998, she had the sense, having originally trained as a dental nurse, that dental care professional (DCP) education was historically a ‘Cinderella’ professional specialism in academic dentistry. At that time the University did not have a history in dental education but was keen to develop provision. Sara has since progressively developed a strong vision for team-based dental learning and working. Historically, dentists and DCPs have been trained in relative isolation, at best sharing occasional seminars and perhaps the odd clinical session. However, Sara passionately believes that they must have the opportunity of training together in the reality of the dental setting if they are going to be effective members of healthcare teams of the future. She strongly believes that students’ experiences as undergraduates influence their later career, working practices and their attitudes to other members of the dental team. Sara led the development of the University’s Dental Academy, which opened in September 2010, and its predecessor, the School for Dental Care Professionals. The Dental Academy, in partnership with King’s College London Dental Institute, provides an innovative model of team-based undergraduate training for DCP and dentist students in the reality of the primary care environment (ie high street practice). She believes that dental graduates of the future must have a sound knowledge and practical understanding of team-based working and that it is the responsibility of dental educators like her to meet this challenge. Sara was awarded the MBE for services to dental education in 2006. As one student commented: “Sara Holmes is a legend! I have never met anyone more passionate about what they do. She is an amazing role model for dental care professionals the world over.” 26
Dr Peter Howarth Senior Lecturer in Modern Literature Queen Mary, University of London Dr Peter Howarth lectures in modern English literature, particularly poetry. What keeps teaching exciting, for him, is the sense of watching the artwork offer new things to every class and every student. His aim has always been to help students feel how the book or poem, even the difficult or intimidating one, is a live work, continually happening, and not just an object to be intellectually anatomised. Over the last few years, Peter has tried to keep this sense of discovery through creative-critical work in his own courses, and by initiating a series of training days for postgraduate teachers for Queen Mary’s Graduate School, the English Subject Centre, and for the HEA. These events have looked at the psychological dynamics of the seminar, motivating students to think like researchers, and using the writing process to help students take more notice of their changing internal responses, and why they might be significant. Peter has also found that research-led teaching in the arts has been a spur to better research as well as better teaching. Classroom and public arena discussions have influenced his writing about the conflict between modernist and non-modernist ideas of poetics (British Poetry in the Age of Modernism, Cambridge, 2005), the fascinations and difficulties of Modernist poetry itself (The Cambridge Introduction to Modernist Poetry, 2011), and the historical meaning of a form in The Cambridge Companion to the Sonnet (2011). Peter has now begun a new project exploring the growth of performance poetry in the twentieth century, and its relation to experimental theatre, broadcast media, celebrity confession, pop music, group psychology, civil rights, participative democracy and, of course, teaching. He is planning a series of networked events exploring how the university and its social function became part of the creative framework for the modern writer at the same time as the ideas of psychoanalysis, and the peculiar path taken by pedagogy in English as a result. 27
