Richard Cooper

Senior Lecturer


Summary

I have been a lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University since 1999, working initially with Sports Management students, moving to Sheffield Business School to look after the PG Events Management course in 2011. I have been involved in developing and running courses in the Far East since 2001, as well as visiting a variety of countries in that region for student recruitment. My previous background was as a Project Manager for sport and arts tourism projects, and a small business owner in sports events.
