Clive Sealey is a senior lecturer in Social Policy and Theory. He enjoys teaching a range of general social policy issues, such as income, health, housing, and education. Clive recognises that students often do not see the importance of these issues to their lives, and through his teaching aims to make these as relevant as possible to them, through a variety of interactive and imaginative teaching methods.

His goal is to make social policy teaching as personal, engaging, and relevant as possible within the academic context. He wants to encourage students to think for themselves and develop their critical thinking skills.
