National Teaching Fellows 2012 Barbara Walsh Centre Leader for Sport, Dance and Outdoor Education, Faculty of Education, Community and Leisure Liverpool John Moores University To her students Barbara Walsh is a ‘fantastic strength who is dedicated and passionate about every student succeeding’ and to her staff she ‘leads by example, with a rare quality of inspiring all who work with her’. Barbara believes that leadership, mentoring and legacy are the three key themes that underpin everything she does and her philosophy is that everybody should be enabled to be the best they can be. As a committed sportswoman with a lifetime spent educating others both in schools and higher education, Barbara has built her career around fostering and celebrating achievement and raising the aspirations of students and colleagues. Paying attention to detail and learning to recover from mishaps is crucial for ultimate success in teaching, as in sport. She has always used setbacks as opportunities for learning and sought creative ways to achieve excellence. She believes that resilience is achieved through persistence and patience, and as a teacher, coach, mentor and leader, her philosophy has always been to celebrate and build on success. A former colleague states about Barbara that she ‘has exceptional professional capabilities in a number of areas which continue to serve as reference points and aspirational milestones in my continuing professional development’. The combined success of staff, students and programme teams has emerged out of Barbara’s flair for leadership, clear sense of integrity and a highly focused vision for enhancing the student experience. Barbara is constantly on her learning journey, gathering knowledge and understanding about learning, teaching and curriculum design that will have the maximum, positive impact on students and staff. According to the Dean of Faculty: “Barbara’s leadership ensures that staff in the centre have a clear focus on teaching excellence and that the student experience is placed at the heart of its work.” Barbara’s sphere of influence extends well beyond the University. She has a particular interest in the induction and transition of new undergraduate students into higher education. 56
Professor David Wilson Professor of Criminology and Director of the Centre for Applied Criminology Birmingham City University A former prison governor, Professor David Wilson’s expertise is related to serious, violent crime and he is regarded as one of the country’s leading experts on murder and serial murder. He has written extensively about this phenomenon from a structural perspective, rather than from within the medical-psychological tradition, in peer review articles, academic and true crime books. His most recent book is Looking for Laura: Public Criminology and Hot News (Winchester: Waterside Press). David’s passion for teaching instills in his undergraduate, Masters and PhD students the importance of making connections between formal academic theory and the actual practice of crime and punishment. David maintains an active interest in all aspects of imprisonment and he is the Vice Chair of the Howard League for Penal Reform, the oldest penal reform organisation in the world, which has EU and UN consultative status. He is also Vice Chair of New Bridge, which was set up in 1956 by Lord Longford to create links between prisoners and the community and he is the Chair of the Friends of Grendon, the only prison in Europe to wholly operate as a therapeutic community. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice, one of the pre-eminent criminology journals in the country. David was the Chair of the independent Commission on English Prisons Today and their report Do Better, Do Less which was published in 2009 has had a major impact on shaping recent policy on imprisonment, rehabilitation and justice reinvestment. Given this applied and academic background, David is much in demand by the print and broadcast media, both as a commentator and as a presenter. He writes regularly in most broadsheet papers and has been interviewed on every major news outlet. David presented Banged Up for Channel 5 which was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award in 2009, and also the recent Killers Behind Bars, again for Channel 5, as well as most notably Hard Cell for Channel 4 and Crime Squad for BBC1.
