Personal profile
Overview
I am an Associate Professor in Education and teach on the BA Education Studies and on the EdD.
As a sociologist of education, I explore ideas of democracy, citizenship and dialogue in relation to education. I am interested in how these interrelate with critical pedagogy, education for sustainability and climate justice. Recent research projects, in universities and schools, have included exploring student voice, student rent strikes and deliberative classrooms.
