You've made it to the official website of Dr. Dave Boyd, a dedicated post-doctoral researcher, passionate educator, and creative enthusiast. Based at Canterbury Christ Church University, I have the privilege of teaching across Media and Communications, Games Studies, Graphic Design, and the Creative Arts MA programmes. My commitment to student learning was recognised by the CCCU Student Union, where I was honored as the runner-up for the 'Most Dedicated to Student Learning' award.

​

My academic journey has been a fascinating blend of research and teaching. My doctoral thesis, "A Critical, Cultural History and Quasi-Ethnography of British Professional Wrestling," dives into the rich history and cultural significance of British wrestling. This work received recognition from MeCCSA, where it was shortlisted for the 'Doctoral Thesis of the Year' award. Additionally, my Masters thesis, "Finding Hope Within Hopelessness," explores how modern video games use dystopian narratives to address contemporary issues.

​

Outside the classroom, I'm an avid music maker. I have multiple releases varying in genre, as well as a selection of my past audio scoring works available to hear via the Wix player in the subsequent sections. If you find something that resonates with you, feel free to reach out for more information.

​

I'm also available for paid tutorial bookings, offering personalised academic help, guidance, and essay feedback/critique. Whether you're looking for support in Media and Cultural Studies, Professional Wrestling, or need general academic assistance, I'm here to help you succeed.

​

Thank you for visiting my site! Whether you're a fellow scholar, a student, a wrestling fan, or a gamer, I hope you'll find something that sparks your interest. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or collaboration ideas – I'm always excited to connect with others who share my passions.

Warm regards,

​

Dr. Dave Boyd
