Magnus is currently employed as a University Teacher at Loughborough University, developing and delivering lectures in communication and media. Magnus has been awarded a Senior Fellowship at the Higher Education Academy.
Magnus Has previously worked as a practice informed researcher improving professional communication in collaboration with organisations such as the NHS, police services in the UK, and various private companies.
Magnus’s research is concerned with empirical investigations of observable, social practices in relation to (primarily) healthcare and policing. Particularly, Magnus examines conflicts in interaction as they emerge and are resolved in interaction with a focus on endogenous reasons for conflict escalation in a given interaction.
Magnus teaches core modules in social psychology, communication, and social interaction, focusing on understanding psychological disorders within societal contexts and examining social dynamics. As the module leader for Psychological Disorders in Society and Social Interaction, Magnus oversees course content, assessments, and student engagement, delivering lectures and facilitating discussions that encourage critical thinking about mental health issues and patterns of human interaction. His teaching aims to provide students with a solid grounding in both theoretical and applied aspects of these fields, preparing them for further study or professional roles in psychology, social sciences, and related disciplines.
