Peer Observations
''Nurun is an astute judge of quality in pedagogic research and an exceptional connector of people. She has built a strong profile in the NTF and SEDA communities through her well-received contributions of original SoTL research. By linking colleagues with leading experts and contributing generously through the NTF, SEDA and AHE, she champions excellence well beyond her own practice, strengthening teaching across the sector'' -Emerita Prof. Sally Brown
Former Chair of the Association for National Teaching Fellows
“Over the last five years at AHE I’ve seen first hand how Nurun engages with urgent assessment debates to stretch her own pedagogic thinking and stay clearly attuned to emerging agendas. Her thoughtful, constructive contributions to these discussions have earned her clear respect across our international community, enabling her to draw in an impressive range of key figures to support Tirigogy. She uses such rich professional engagements to strengthen her own teaching and to enhance colleagues’ practice both across and well beyond her institution ” - Prof. Kay Sambell

"Nurun exemplifies excellence by not only 'talking the talk' but truly 'walking the walk.' Her unwavering commitment to critically reflecting on her practice is evident in her innovative interventions in RAISE. What sets Nurun apart is her prioritisation of feedback from student colleagues, demonstrating her dedication to fostering a collaborative, student-centred approach that drives meaningful and impactful change." - Prof. Ruth Healey

''Nurun has consistently brought a thoughtful, evidence-informed perspective to discussions, drawing on her extensive experience of teaching, assessment design and learner engagement. Through the Assessment and Feedback Working Group, she has helped shape conversations around authentic assessment, inclusive practice, AI literacy and the effective use of technology to enhance assessment and feedback. Her contributions have been highly valued, helping to ensure that Jisc's guidance, resources and sector activities remain grounded in the realities of practice while addressing emerging challenges and opportunities.'' -Sarah Knight

''Nurun combines a deep commitment to research and scholarship in teaching in higher education with a rare ability to engage people in it. She has worked hard to bring published papers from the Journal of Educational Innovation, Partnership and Change to life, using interviews with their authors to champion staff-student partnership and co-creation and to draw others into that scholarship. She is always learning from colleagues, and generously shares that learning so that others' practice develops alongside her own'' - Prof. Simon Walker

Nurun is the one-woman-force of nature behind TIRIgogy a platform for TEL that has become a household name by now. Podcasts webinars in-person workshops drawing academics to Bolton - this is all Nurun and what outstanding champion-worthy work she is doing here I cannot overemphasize. TIRIgogy events reach beyond the UK and have impacted me considerably - the events are on my must-attend list be they in GenAI x Higher Education the student voice in HE or discussions around leadership; what Nurun provides here has impact value and wide reach. - Assoc.
