I have extensive experience in both written and oral communication. My primary work involves leadership, pedagogy, supervision, study techniques, methodology, coaching and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). My PhD project has come into existence as a result of this collaboration.
In January 2008, I entered into a close collaboration between the University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen. In this connection, my experience in project work, networking and policy plays an important role. Among other things, I am head of the Educational Centre of Social Sciences (ECS) and in my capacity thereof, I participate in a number of development activities across the University of Copenhagen.

And they do so in ways that bring fresh approaches, not only to Europeans, who have only recently begun to study academic writing, but also to researchers and academic staff in the U. The essays in this - traordinary volume address a growing demand for help with academic writing, on the part of students and academic staff alike.
’ But I was equally struck by the profound differences in responding to these challenges – among - tions, institutions, disciplines, and even within disciplines. I was struck by the similarities in the challenges higher education faces on both sides of the Atlantic in terms of developing students’ academic writing, and students’ learning through writing. , the first European Association for the Teaching of Academic Writing (EATAW) conference in 2001 at Groningen.
I was fortunate to attend, as a visitor from the U. RUSSELL English Department of Iowa State University, U.
