| Introduction | I'm Carolyn Waudby, a journalist, lecturer and poet. I'm a lover of travel, art, film, music and literature and have an interest in the cafe societies of the late 19th century and early 20th century. I've written travel articles, opinion columns and reviews for print and online publications such as The Press Association, The Yorkshire Post and easyjetTraveller. My poetry has appeared in journals and magazines such as Mslexia, Magma, The Reader, Staple and Haiku Quarterly, and I've collaborated on a number of projects using poetry in the public sphere. I'm a senior lecturer in Journalism at Sheffield Hallam University, where I specialise in feature writing for magazines and newspapers. I can also be found on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and the Sheffield Hallam University C3Ri research website. |
