Biography

I am an adult literacy teacher, teacher educator and researcher with particular interests in reading development, community education, reading circles and the roles of cinema, literature and poetry in language learning. I am also interested in teacher education, informal literacy learning across the life-course and when we might choose to read something aloud rather than in silence.
