Jesper Hansen
Jesper is the Arena Faculty Lead for UCL Arts & Humanities. In this role, he works closely with the education leads in the Faculty to enhance the student experience. In recent years, he has worked in partnership with a range of Arts and Humanities students on Faculty ChangeMakers projects, ensuring autonomy and voice to students interested in shaping the future of education in the faculty.
Jesper's current research focuses on representation of non-normative gender and sexuality. It initially focused on language teaching but has since broadened out to other types of teaching as well. A concrete resource that tutors might find useful is the toolkit 'Recognising and including LGBTQ+ identities in language teaching' which is available online.
