I am actively involved in research on cultural landscapes and heritage, and maps in education, I formerly taught across a range of human and environmental geography themes in the BA/BSc Geography and BSc Environmental Science degree programmes and continue to provide guest lectures at CCCU.
I am involved in a range of initiatives linked to the university's sustainability agenda, with special interests in education for sustainable futures, heritage and biodiversity on campus. I authored the Green Heritage Manifesto.
I conceived and developed the university's 'Bioversity Initiative' - the creation of a unique 'sense of place' associated with Christ Church's location within the Canterbury UNESCO World Heritage Site (St Augustine's Abbey) and the stewardship of its green spaces. I am also the editor and contributor to the Christ Church Heritage A-Z - please visit for an informative and entertaining introduction to Canterbury's heritage!
