I hold posts as Senior Lecturer on the Professional Doctorate in Education at St Mary’s
University, Twickenham; Visiting Research Fellow in the School of Humanities and Social Science at the University of Brighton; and Honorary Fellow with Centre for Creative-Relational Inquiry, University of Edinburgh.
My research interests lie in the fields of narrative and participatory inquiry and
autoethnography, exploring particularly issues of agency, voice, border crossing and
boundary spanning. This work mirrors my own professional life changes from playworker, to teacher, to youth worker, to counsellor, to academic, research and writer. I recently became a student again, embarking on an MA in Creative Writing.
My teaching and supervision experience centres on qualitative inquiry, critical and creative reflective practices, partnerships, collaboration, intersubjectivity and collegial capital.
