- Lecturer In Secondary Initial Teacher Education (geography)
- IOE - Curriculum, Pedagogy & Assessment
- UCL Institute of Education
Prior to joining UCL Institute of Education (IOE) as Lecturer in Geography Education in 2014, I was a secondary school geography teacher in the UK and Singapore. My research is driven by an interest in the lives and geographies of children, with a particular focus on education and educational spaces. My doctoral research investigated the value of children’s geographies to geography education in schools and I am interested in the relationships between (children’s) geographies in different spaces of thought – everyday life, geography as an academic discipline and geography as a school subject.
At the IOE, I have led Initial
Teacher Education (ITE) programmes at a subject level, including PGCE Secondary
Geography, as well as tutoring on the MA Education (Geography). I convene a 3rd
year undergraduate module ‘Geography Education’ for students in UCLs Geography
department. I have also taken broader leadership roles across ITE in mentor
development and partnership, and retain a research interest in mentoring.
I am a fellow of the Royal
Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (FRGS) and a committee member of the RGSs Geography and
Education Research Group (GeogEd) - https://geogedrg.org/.
I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA).


My research interests include:
Children’s geographies;
Geographies of education and
educational spaces;

Geography
teacher education;

Place and time-space.
