I work as Senior Research Officer at UCL Institute of Education. My research focuses on topics such as global learning and global citizenship education. I'm also interested in democracy in schools, human rights and student voice. Previously I've worked extensively on access to education in developing country contexts, including dropping out from school.
I carry out both qualitative and quantitative research and evaluation. I do a lot of survey design and analysis, often with a focus on impact evaluation. I am also very experienced in qualitative data collection and analysis. I have written a number of research papers and journal articles.
I have been involved in a number of projects and programmes, including:
- Global Education for Teachers MOOC (2020 - ) FutureLearn
- CCGL: Practitioner Research Fund (CCGL) (DFID/British Council, 2018-22)
- CCGL: Monitoring and evaluation (DFID/BC, 2018-21)
- Global Learning Programme (GLP): Lead research and evaluation (DFID, 2013-18)
- Schools for Future Youth project (SFYouth): Lead monitoring and evaluation (EU Erasmus + funded, 2013-17)
- The Consortium for Research on Educational Access, Transitions and Equity (CREATE): Research Fellow (DFID-funded, 2006-10)
I have been commissioned to carry out short-term inputs for: UNESCO Global Education Monitoring (GEM), UNESCO Global Action Programme on Education (GAP), University of Tokyo,Global Education Network Europe (GENE), International Citizenship Service VSO and UNICEF's Rights Respecting Schools Award. My DPhil studies were at the University of Sussex: Schooling citizens: a study of policy in practice in South Africa.
I teach on the MA Global Learning. I am module leader for the Global Citizenship Education module on the MA, teach on the dissertation module and support students through their studies.
I am a subsidiary supervisor supporting doctoral students on the PhD and EdD programme. I supervise doctoral students in global learning /education for global citizenship fields.
