Dr David Smith

David teaches in many different course formats at University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education (PACE), from weekend courses and day schools to Summer Programme courses in History. He served on the Management Board of the Institute of Continuing Education from 2005-2008, and he became an Affiliated Lecturer at PACE in 2012. David has been a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge, since 1988. He has been a Director of Studies in History since 1992, and a Graduate Tutor since 2004. At Selwyn he has also served as Admissions Tutor (1992-2003), and as Praelector (1996-2006). He has been an Affiliated Lecturer in the Cambridge History Faculty since 1995.

David particularly enjoys teaching adult students, as they bring a wide range of perspectives to bear, as well as great enthusiasm and commitment. His courses involve extensive use of primary sources, and each class involves discussion of these and also, if appropriate, a fieldtrip.
