Dr Ashleigh Blackwood

My research and teaching practice are driven by questions of co-creation. My scholarship asks how we come to share common understandings of expert and authoritative knowledge within both professional and educational settings, and how the public accept, reject or respond to these ideas created within organisations and learned institutions. My work considers the role of both people and technological innovation from the development of the printing press to the role of AI.

I teach at all levels ranging from offering undergraduate teaching through to supporting postgraduate research. I am passionate about both student and public engagement and am part of the leadership team that shapes and cultivates our MBA here the University of Sunderland.
