Olusola Adegbite

I am a Casual Academic (Visiting Lecturer) at York St. John University, York, United Kingdom. I hold a PhD in Law degree from the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, United Kingdom, where I was awarded a Full Tuition Doctoral Scholarship for my research. I have had the privilege of having my work published in leading peer-reviewed journals worldwide. I have experience in teaching British and international students, managing modules, and supervising postgraduate dissertations.

My most recent teaching portfolio covers modules in Law in the State II (British Constitutional Law & Human Rights), Law in a Global Context II (European Union (EU) Law & International Law), as well as Terrorism and Security. I am open to teaching law modules such as Constitutional Law, European Union (EU) Law, Contract Law, Medical Law, Employment Law, International Humanitarian Law, International Human Rights Law, and International Criminal Law.

I am a very diligent academic with a strong work ethic as well as a history of positive student learning outcomes. I deliver excellent mentorship and promote an inclusive learning environment that helps my students achieve their full potential. I am skilled in the use of multimedia tools and digital learning platforms such as Canvas, Moodle, etc. I am passionate about the classroom being an open, friendly, and supportive place for all my students. I am currently seeking a role where I can contribute these values and also be exposed to opportunities for further professional development as well as career advancement. I love books, travel, and football.

Reading, travelling, mentoring, and watching football.
