James Smith

I have worked in advertising and editorial photography for a range of clients.  Work undertaken includes producing images for literature to promote clients ranging from the Brathey Trust, a youth development initiative to Eversheds business lawyers. I have held the position of the British Mountaineering Councils official photographer, covering events such as the finals of the World Climbing Championship in Birmingham.

In January 2009 I enrolled on the Doctoral Programme in Educational Research at Lancaster University. I am currently researching the implementation of Governmental Policy within the University, using an implementation staircase to track policy from Government through Institution, Management and Academic staff to Students.  I am involved in research looking at the implementation of Policy within the School of University, using situational analysis to assess current thinking and pedagogic practice within this area. I am also registered with the Institute for Learning.
