Dr Anna Ponomareva’s first degree is in Analytic Philosophy (Moscow State University) in which the study of language, personal identity and other minds are emphasised. Later her postgraduate studies at British universities, University of Manchester and UCL, and work experience at Home Office, Westminster Primary Care Trust and secondary schools in London have shaped Anna’s passion of theory and adjusted it for the practical needs of teaching Arts and Humanities in British academia. Her teaching is largely research-based and incorporates Anna’s latest research findings in Translation Studies, Comparative Literature and Russian Language.
