As of Autumn/Fall 2009 Alan will be a full member of the Arts Faculty, Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa. He has been appointed as Associate Professor for Drama & Film in what used to be the Pretoria School of Filmmaking. It is now the Motion Picture Academy that runs the following core courses:
- 1st year National Certificate Motion Picture Technology;
- 2nd year National Higher Certificate Motion Picture Production;
- 3rd year National Diploma Motion Picture Production, B Tech Degree Motion Picture Production either specialising in directing; producing or animation, Masters Degree in Technology Motion Picture Production
- Doctors Degree in Technology Motion Picture Production
The role will embrace community outreach, teaching, research, publications & teacher training.
While regarded as a significant and wholly welcome opportunity, the appointment is a recent culmination of pedagogic practice, research & critical engagment with film, media & drama that has, since 1991, extended from the UK to Continental Europe.
Best wishes coming in from friends, colleagues & particularly past and recent students are most appreciated.
