Juliet Henderson

Juliet is Senior Lecturer in Language and Communication and Instructor English for Academic Purposes at the Westminster Institute of Education at Oxford Brookes. She teaches on the BA in Communication Media and Culture, the International Foundation Diploma, and the English for University Studies course.

After completing a BA in History and English Literature, Juliet moved to Paris where she lived for 15 years. Whilst there she worked for the Department of Education teaching phonetics and phonology to French lycée teachers. She also taught English at the MBA Institute and Versailles University. On her return to England she was a visiting lecturer in the department of Applied Linguistics at Luton University, where she studied for an MA in Intercultural Communication under Professor Helen Spencer-Oatey.

Juliet's research interests lie in the field of intercultural communication and rhetoric, and ways in which our perceptions of self and other, and our intersubjective constructions of that relationship, constrain and determine language choice. She is currently conducting research into student and educator practices and ideals relating to internationalisation of the curriculum and the student learning experience at Brookes.
