About the Visiting Teaching Fellow
Dr Irina Lazar is an Associate Professor in Engineering and Public Policy at UCL Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy. She teaches at the interface between science, engineering, and policy, bridging topics such as sustainability, social responsibility in an engineering context, and social change through a transdisciplinary lens. An active figure in engineering education, A. Prof Lazar brings a wealth of knowledge from her experience in engineering, policy and community-engaged learning. Her leadership in this field is exemplified by the BSc Science and Engineering for Social Change Program she leads at UCL. This unique program is a fusion of science, engineering, and policy training designed to grow the next generation of social change leaders, with community partners playing a central role in the delivery of the program.
The EF Visiting Teaching Fellowships are funded by the Education Focussed program and are designed to build the profile and connections of the UNSW education community with highly regarded educators across the tertiary sector in Australia and internationally. Initiated by a UNSW EF academic staff member, Fellowships provide opportunities to develop educational collaborations and facilitate interaction and engagement with UNSW staff and students.
