Biography

Biography

I am a Professor of Citizenship and Children's Rights Education at Middlesex University, where I teach and work with colleagues in the Centre for Educational Research and Scholarship (CERS) to build research capacity. I have worked in schools, charities and higher education for the past thirty years, starting as a teacher of history and sociology in London secondary schools. I then became Education Director at the Institute for Citizenship, and subsequently moved into the university sector where I have taught on a variety of undergraduate, postgraduate and professional courses in traditional face to face classrooms and on-line environments.

I gained my PhD in Citizenship Education Policy in 2012 from the Institute of Education in London. I also have an MA in History of Colonial and Post-Colonial Societies, from Birkbeck College, a PGCE in Social Studies and a BSc in Politics and Sociology. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Teaching

I teach on the MA Childhood and Education in Diverse Societies undergraduate research methods and supervise individual dissertations and doctoral theses. I also contribute to the doctoral training programme and chair the faculty ethics committee.

I am interested in supervising students working in the following areas and would welcome conversations with prospective doctoral students:

  • Citizenship education and civics.
  • Children's rights in education and human rights education.
  • Teachers' planning and conceptualisations of professional practices.
  • Contemporary education policy.
  • Inter-professional perspectives on mentoring and professional education.

Current doctoral students are investigating professional education in social work; mentoring in secondary schools; children's rights in school; and employability in HE.
