Biographical
Note
I have worked across the educational
sector in schools, adult, further and higher education. For 9 years I worked
in adult residential education at Newbattle Abbey College and on a part-time
basis for the Open University as a Tutor-Counsellor with a remit for working
in prisons across Scotland in that role. I joined the now School of Education
in 1990 and have been Course Leader for the BA in Community Education;
Course Organiser for Education One and, currently, Programme Director for
the MSc
in Education and the MSc
in Educational Research. I currently teach on Education One and Two
the cross-School courses, in years 1 and 2 of the BA(Hons)
Community Education and co-tutor Educational Enquiry 1 and 2 on the
MSc.
I have a College-wide remit for Quality Assurance and Enhancement and am a member
of a number of School, College and University Committees in that capacity.
I was Institutional Contact for the QAA Enhancement Theme on 'Research-Teaching
Linkages: Enhancing Graduate Attributes' that generated a published report in
November 2008.
