Celebrating Excellence in Teaching
We are delighted to celebrate two St John’s Fellows, Professor Kate Nation and Professor Laurence Hunt (both Department of Psychology), who have recently been recognised by the University with Excellent Teacher Awards.
Professor Kate Nation was chosen for her exceptional teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate levels, leading courses in Developmental Psychology, Advanced Reading, and Developmental Science.
" Students describe her lectures as rich, engaging, and expertly delivered, striking the perfect balance between depth and clarity. "
Professor Laurence Hunt has also been recognised with the Early Career Excellent Teacher Award in honour of his transformative teaching, innovative research-led pedagogy, and exceptional student support.
" He is not just a teacher, but a true innovator. "
Both also received praise for the care that they show their students and wider departmental communities, with their commitment to "support[ing] wellbeing and equity for all members of the department" and "compassionate mentorship" being picked out.
These achievements highlight the extraordinary quality of teaching and mentorship that defines life at St John’s. We warmly congratulate Professor Kate Nation and Professor Laurence Hunt on their well-deserved recognition, and thank them for their outstanding contributions to the teaching and learning environment that make the college such a special place to study.
