Nicole Fayard

I am an Associate Professor in French and Francophone, specialising in Visual Culture, Gender, and Translation Studies. I am also Director of Education for Modern Languages and History of Art and Film in the School of Arts. This role involves providing strategic leadership in learning, teaching and student experience as well as overseeing quality assurance and programme development work.

I have played a key role in enhancing student satisfaction by leading on a project on transforming the delivery of feedback to students and closing the feedback loop in Modern Languages. I am currently leading the project 'Global Citizens of Change' which embeds life- and employability-skills in the curriculum in transformative ways.

I am committed to inclusive, research-led, and life-transforming teaching. My work has consistently been informed by a recognition of colonial legacies and the need to reflect this. I cover the themes of gender violence, sexualities, ethnicity and social divisions. In past and recent years I have held key roles as Director or French and Director of Admissions for Modern Languages. As College Equalities Lead, I helped transform University policies.
