Celebration for winners of prizes for excellence in teaching in 2025.
I am delighted to congratulate this year’s Pilkington Prize winners from the School of Arts and Humanities. Chris Tilmouth (Faculty of English), Isabelle McNeill (Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages & Linguistics) and Paul Hoegger (University Language Centre, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages & Linguistics) may be this year’s worthy winners, but they also represent colleagues across all our Faculties, Departments and Centres whose commitment to providing inspirational teaching we can all be proud of. Our winners have transformed undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, have developed new courses and have embedded inclusivity of approaches and materials into their teaching, inspiring others. They are variously described as passionate about teaching, visionary, innovative and transformational. What shines through is their resolute focus on intellectual engagement with challenging materials and the impact their work has had on the pedagogic approaches of their colleagues. There will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate all 3 winners at the ceremony in June, although we were thrilled that Isabelle was able to receive her certificate in February shortly before her untimely death.
