About

Andrew is a Neurodivergent National Teaching Fellow, librarian, and trainer. Until recently he worked as a part-time Development Manager for Academic Libraries North, and before that in a UK Higher Education library as a manager on the liaison and teaching side of the service. Now he is purely freelance.

In addition to running freelance workshops and training on topics such as teaching, leadership, and neurodiversity, normally with a focus on playfulness or play. He’s written and edited many things on information literacy, play, teaching, leadership, neurodiversity and fairy tales including books and journal articles; together with setting up and running the diamond open access Journal of Play in Adulthood.

He’s available to run workshops and training, most of which are in person, but some which also suit online delivery. He’s currently trying to write more on Playful Leadership and playfulness in teaching and learning.
