Imogen Knox
In our first of an ongoing series of conversations with historians who teach in Higher Education around the UK, we are delighted to be joined on our first outing by Imogen Knox!
Imogen is a historian of early modern Britain, specialising in gender and emotion, and is a lecturer at the University of Exeter. While completing her PhD at the University of Warwick, which explored the experience of being suicidal in early modern Britain, Imogen began teaching as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) and became involved in lots of interesting pedagogical work – including Warwick’s Postgraduate Teaching Community and the Journal of PGR Pedagogic Practice (JPPP).
In our conversation, we spoke about some of Imogen’s experiences with various teaching-focused activities, their influence on her own teaching practices, and reflected on some of the opportunities and challenges in transitioning to an early-career lecturer – including navigating different identities related to a full-time teaching role.
Imogen can be found, amongst other places, on Bluesky @imogenknox.bsky.social.
