Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolArjun Khara is a multidisciplinary communications and information-design scholar-practitioner with eight years of experience blending content strategy, teaching, and front-end development. Currently an Associate Professor and Associate Editor at the University of Leeds, he designs cross-disciplinary workshops that help organisations convert passive data consumers into engaged communities by exploring content’s influence on behaviour and culture. Trained in communications, computer games design (MA), and a PhD in Information Design, he pairs Adobe-certified creative practice and HTML/CSS/JS development with physical computing to prototype persuasive media. A seasoned trainer who has worked with governments, universities and global brands across Asia and Europe, he’s equally comfortable coding a responsive site, leading academic programmes, or sketching narrative-driven learning experiences. Unusually for an academic, he maintains a long track record as a commercial creative director and community manager, bringing practical agency skills into research-led teaching.
