Marilyn Woolfson

Profile

Marilyn Woolfson, Senior Lecturer in Criminology 

Marilyn Woolfson

I am responsible for core criminological theory at level two. 

My teaching areas are the theoretical issues surrounding the factors that generate crime and offending and policies of control. 

I have designed an interdisciplinary third year module 'Crime, Violence and Contemporary Society' a criminology option at level three. 

I am also responsible for supervising dissertation students at level three.

My academic background is grounded in part-time distance teaching, having experienced this from both sides at the Open University. 

I am committed to interdisciplinary working and teaching as well as enhancing my skills in teaching students from all academic backgrounds and from a variety of ages and ethnic backgrounds.

At the Open University I was responsible for teaching at first, second and third level courses. 

In addition I have had much administrative responsibility in the regions where I have worked, mentoring new tutors, organising Day Schools and running teaching and learning skills development modules for colleagues. 

I have also been involved in Action Research at the Open University.

At the University my teaching involves a considerable amount of specialist knowledge of criminology, criminal justice, media students, penology and social policy.

My experience with long distance learners has provided me with the skills to generate an understanding of and enthusiasm for the subjects I teach, utilizing a range of teaching methods.
