Dr Meg Tait

Dr Meg Tait is Head of Cambridge’s new Centre for Teaching and Learning.  She is also Official Fellow in Academic Development at Queens’ College.  Working in educational development at Cambridge since 2003, Meg is course director for the Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and leads the University's Teaching Associates’ Programme, accredited by the Higher Education Academy. Originally a linguist and literary historian, she has a Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning in Higher and Professional Education at UCL Institute of Education.  She is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy.  Meg is particularly interested in changes in how professional knowledge, and professional learning, are conceptualised.

The Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education brings Meg into contact with highly motivated people teaching across the full range of disciplines studied at Cambridge. She sees her contribution as supporting them in developing ways of thinking and practising as educators that are ambitious and rigorous, as well as practicable in the context of their own teaching.
