Teaching Summary
I am particularly keen to work with research students who have an interest in pedagogy and approaches to development education and global learning, education for sustainable development (including education and climate change), global citizenship, global perspectives in higher education and internationalisation. These themes and concepts can be interpreted in a number of ways, and I would welcome proposals which seek to explore them in diverse national or social contexts or from new research perspectives.
