About

Overview

Rachael-Anne is a phonetician with interests in prosody, psycholinguistics and pedagogy. She joined City University London in 2005 after studying at Roehampton, UCL and the University of Cambridge.

Rachael-Anne completed a BA at the University of Roehampton, where she fell in love with linguistics and went on to study for an MSc in Speech and Hearing Sciences at UCL. After a brief period as a research assistant working with prosody in speech synthesis she moved to the University of Cambridge, to complete a PhD in phonetics. Rachael-Anne joined City University London in 2005. Her main areas of phonetics research involve intonation, rhythm, rhotics, clinical phonetics and accent perception.

Rachael-Anne has a strong interest in education and pedagogy, and as Associate Dean Education has strategic responsibility for these aspects across the School of Health Sciences. She is the School’s lead for the Teaching Excellence Framework, and works on a number of cross-institutional projects such as learning spaces, learning analytics and electronic attendance monitoring systems. She has been a Principal Fellow of the Higher Education Academy since 2015, and a National Teaching Fellow since 2016.

Outside of City, Rachael-Anne leads the London and Southeast network of Principal Fellows, organising three meetings a year for members to share best practice in relation to sector wide issues.
