Dr Henry Aluko

Teaching

Over the years, I have taught across undergraduate, postgraduate, and executive levels, designing and leading modules that integrate innovative and inclusive pedagogies to enhance student learning.

My teaching practice is grounded in both traditional and digital methods, with a particular experience in management, leadership, business, entrepreneurship, ethical leadership, governance, and strategy.

Research

My research work has been presented at national and international conferences and publish in published in Q1 journals with several manuscripts under review. My research interests span ethical leadership, organisational culture, leadership, organisational behaviour, emotional intelligence, artificial intelligence in education, public governance, and sustainability in business practices.

I am passionate about bridging academic research with practice to support student development and global knowledge exchange.
