THEORY AND PRACTICE
As an SRN member, teaching narrative has been informed by creative, reflective practice in writing original scripts and adaptations.
PUBLISHING & CILECT
As well as authoring my own books on Hitchcock, New Hollywood, US film and news broadcasting histories, I have been project initiator, contributor, and co-editor of the two Volumes (p. 799) that comprise the 21 Century Book Project for CILECT - Centre international de liaison des écoles de cinéma et de télévision.
Hence, ‘As well as monitoring and thorough proofreading, Alan has brought his extensive teaching experience (U.K., Europe, and South Africa) to advise upon and help guide the project’s main pedagogic goal - to “advance an on-going commitment by CILECT to encourage and share best practice in film and media education".’
