About Alun

Lecturer in Education

I lead courses on Environmental and Sustainability Education, Global Education and Outdoor Learning. 
I have worked in a variety of contexts over thirty years including as a schoolteacher, teacher advisor, lecturer and researcher in a number of Higher Education Institutions. 
I work across educational phases (Primary through to Higher Education); and sectors (formal-informal).
I promote intergenerational, lifelong and community-based learning. 
I have a long-standing research interest in Place and Landscape as integrative concepts for learning; and have a particular interest in Ocean Literacy and Marine Citizen Science.
