ALEXANDER ESSIEN TIMOTHY

I am a senior lecturer at the University of Calabar. I hold a PhD in Curriculum Studies with specialisation in Language Arts (English Language) Education. Before joining the university in 2013, I had been a teacher of English and Literature-in-English at the secondary school level. I had taught briefly (three years) at a teacher training college in Calabar, Nigeria. I am also interested in gender studies, qualitative research, and inclusive education. In my spare time, I tell Nigerian folktales (especially ones with the Tortoise as the main character) and write poems, especially about mosquitoes. I am married with children.
