Biography
I work on the MA in English Education and the English with Drama PGCE at UCL IOE.
I joined the IOE part-time to teach on the English with Drama PGCE, around ten years ago, while still teaching in school and having taught Drama (mostly) for over twenty years in schools and colleges in Birmingham and London.
I was also involved in Theatre in Education, youth theatre and projects involving young people who were newly arrived in South London schools. We received Arts Council funding for some of these projects and experimented with media production alongside improvisational drama. These activities inform my on-going research interests.
