- Profile
-
My background is in cognition and learning development, and I have taught in a variety of educational contexts, including secondary schools and Higher Education. My interests include developing inclusion within education and working to reduce the hierarchal nature of classroom and research environments.
- Research interests
-
My current research interests are focused on how peer assisted study can be used to promote learning development, inclusion, and student confidence, in interdisciplinary educational communities. Parallel to this, I am also interested in supporting student transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study, with a specific focus on developing taught postgraduate students as autonomous learners and co-constructors of knowledge within their discipline.
- Teaching interests
-
I am interested in teaching quantitative and qualitative research methods, alongside providing dissertation supervision for students on the Psychology and Education (Conversion) MSc. In addition, I am an experienced learning developer, and, accordingly, I am focused on creating and embedding opportunities for students to enhance their essential skills for academic success, throughout my teaching practice.
