Honoured: Sara Houston collecting the rare accolade
A lecturer from Richmond was awarded a national teaching fellowship last week.
Sara Houston, who works at the University of Roehampton, was presented with the accolade at Liverpool Cathedral on October 8, for her long-standing commitment to helping dancers develop as professionals and for promoting community-led dance.
She is the first lecturer in dance in London to become a fellow and the first in her field for 10 years, UK-wide.
The fellowships are organised by the UK’s Higher Education Academy and are funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
Fellows are nominated by their university and submissions must show individual excellence.
