Dr Andrew Richardson
I hold a PhD in Modern History from Cardiff University. I also read for a Masters Degree in Modern History and an undergraduate degree in History and English Literature. I have taught undergraduate history at the university for two years as an Associate Tutor in addition to delivering public and community engagement for the department, as one of the original team of the SHARE with Schools undergraduate widening access programme. In addition to my current role in SHARE as the Postgraduate Pathways Project Officer, I am currently the Policy and Research Officer to the CEO at Techniquest Science Centre. For 8 years, I have also worked in the informal education sector in science communication as an education programme presenter (schools and public including outreach) and in exhibition management at Techniquest. I have also conducted a number of research projects and reports for the centre. I have also worked with the National Trust and deliver public lectures to local organisations and institutions.
