Hi, I'm Josephine. I'm an academic researcher and writer, as well as a radio/audio and public relations practitioner. My professional career began in local radio. I have worked in all three sectors: commercial, the BBC and community access. I have worked as a public relations and promotions expert as well as a presenter, producer and journalist. More recently, I have been teaching in Higher Education, both at undergraduate (Birkbeck, University of London) and postgraduate level (Brunel University of London) specialising in media and communications studies, PR practice/theory and related fields. I'm serving my last year as External Examiner for the University of Staffordshire and am currently teaching as Associate Lecturer back at Birkbeck, on the MA module 'Public Relations and Professional Communications'.
