Mark joined CEMP in 2007 after teaching in Further Education, and with some professional experience in TV news and script editing. His PhD research – What’s in a Word? The Discursive Construction of Creativity (2010) – argued for a critical intervention in the use of the term ‘creativity’, particularly in education policy. He has presented this work at conferences in the UK, Europe and the USA and written about in the journals Networks and MERJ.
Mark also has interests in scriptwriting and censorship and has written two works for the BFI: Teaching Scriptwriting, Screenplays and Storyboards for Film and TV Production (2003) and Teaching Film Censorship and Controversy (2007).
He is a tutor on the MA in Creative and Media Education and also link tutor for the BBC Academy on its MA in Production Management, and for the BRIT School for its BA in Media Practice.
