Chair of Faculty Ethics Committee. Postgraduate supervisor & EdD module leader interested in professional identity, agency & development and organisational change in education.
I supervise master’s dissertation students and have many years of experience as a doctoral supervisor, chair and examiner on a variety of themes within education, with particular interest in teacher identity and agency, professional development and organisational change in UK and international contexts. My main areas of methodological expertise are qualitative and creative approaches, narrative studies and action research.
As Chair of the Faculty Ethics Committee I convene review of ethics applications for research students and staff and provide bespoke guidance and training on research ethics, including for taught courses within the Faculty and for Graduate College researcher and supervisor development programmes. Drawing on many years’ experience of course leadership and curriculum development, I am a regular contributor to the university’s internal quality processes for course development and review.
Having led a variety of consultancy projects and evaluations focusing on teacher-led development, action research, school improvement and professional learning over more than two decades, my most recent project supports teacher-led action research with Kent Music (2022-3).
