Mr Alan Pagden

Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Education

After over twenty years of teaching, mainly in the primary sector, in the UK and abroad, I moved into Higher Education initially at the University of East Anglia (UEA) where, in addition to lecturing on the primary ITE programme, I taught undergraduates and Master's courses. During my time at UEA I was involved in a number of research projects, the most significant being an EU funded study on the potential of mobile technology in high schools.

Since 2011, when I moved to Canterbury Christ Church University, I have taught across a range of ITE programmes focusing mainly on primary humanities, design and technology, and LAOC (Learning Across and Outside the Curriculum). I also make a significant contribution to the BA Education Studies degree where I am currently responsible for three modules. With a colleague (Nicola Kemp) I lead the eco-pedagogy research theme group. A key part of our agenda is to develop and maintain a local network of researchers and practitioners who are interested in LINE (Learning In Natural Environments).
