Biography

Biography

Mehmet Ali Dikerdem is one of the few remaining veterans of the Polytechnic years of Middlesex University. He was one of the three founders of the Race & Culture Programme  which ran from 1995-2001 and had the distinction of being one of the first Black Studies courses set up in British HE to `decolonise’ the curriculum. He joined the Institute for Work Based Learning between 2002-2017 and was Programme Leader for the Transdisciplinary Doctorate for Professional Studies (2009-2016).  Although, to adapt Lady Bracknell from Oscar Wilde, to lose one Programme may be regarded as a misfortune but to lose both may look like carelessness, he nevertheless had the opportunity to deliver modules in undergraduate Global Politics which, in turn,  was closed down in 2022, making three strikes and almost out. He is currently 0.3 f/t delivering  postgraduate modules in Research Methods and 60 credit Placement. Between 2017 and 2024 I have seen through nearly 20 DProf and PhD candidates.
