Biography

I have over 25 years experience of teaching and training other educators, including in HE in the UK and overseas. I am interested in training or educating others to facilitate learning in various settings: overseas in developing countries, within the development education and global learning sector, and within Higher and Professional Education.  I work with clinical educators, lecturers, teachers in schools and other independent trainers. I have worked with HE professionals from UK, Pakistan, China, Slovenia and Poland. I am assessor for UCL's Arena programme. As Associate Director of IOE's Development Education Research Centre, I have an interest in UCL's approaches to sustainability and the SDGs. I have served as a member of UCL's sustainability steering group and sustainable literacy group, aiming to increase the focus on sustainability in UCL's teaching offer.

I have research interests in education for global citizenship and related areas of development education / global learning, learning and teaching within higher education, and the education of professional educators. I have written on the professional development of teachers through CPD, and new university lecturers, as well as on distance supervision of dissertations. I have also researched within the development education / global learning field on work in FE colleges, the professional development of teachers in global learning, and the contribution of returned volunteers to development education. I am the editor of the International Journal of Development Education and Global Learning (established in 2008 by IOE's Development Education Research Centre), and Series Editor for Advances in GlobalCitizenship Education Policy and Practice.
