My NTF focused on the interplay and synergies afforded by bringing together education for sustainable development and student engagement. This fusion brings about authentic, real world education which questions values, challenges the status quo and helps student consider and build alternative futures.

I am currently involved in several strategic pedagogic projects. I have developed an instrument to evaluate student academic representation systems which has been supported by the NUS and is currently being piloted at 17 Student Unions across the UK. I am involved in the decolonisation agenda and exploring how this works across different institutional settings, and I am involved in ongoing work exploring students’ energy literacy in international contexts.

My pedagogic expertise: 

  • evaluation
  • decolonisation
  • higher education pedagogy.
