Dr Kamil Zwolski becomes a National Teaching Fellows

PAIR is delighted to announce that Dr Kamil Zwolski is the recipient of one of the 54 2022 National Teaching Fellows as awarded by Advance HE. He follows in the footsteps of the eight previous University of Southampton Teaching Fellows over the past 14 years.

Alison Johns, Chief Executive, Advance HE said, "Congratulations to each and every new National Teaching Fellow and CATE team on this fantastic achievement. At Advance HE, we run the prestigious NTF and CATE awards for the UK higher education sector with enormous pride. The challenges of offering an outstanding teaching experience in recent years have been very demanding, but the sector has risen to the challenge."

Kamil said on receipt of his award, "I am thrilled. When I first heard about NTFs some years ago, I thought this award would be beyond my reach because, in my work, I focus on both education as well as my disciplinary research (International Politics). The fact that I got it shows that academics on all pathways, including balanced pathways, should feel confident to consider applying when they are ready."

Kamil is committed to improve student learning through high-impact pedagogies of gamification, staff-student partnerships and research-informed teaching. Kamil's current research and education activities revolve around the European Union's Jean Monnet Chair award to enhance European Studies education at the University.
