Supervision
I
am keen to supervise under the above headings. I
currently co-supervise Jen
Watts, who is a doctoral student looking at
training for wilderness decision-making.
I have also supervised MSc students looking at: environmental
activism; animal rights and schooling; sustainable development
in higher education; environmental education policy integration
(Scotland/Norway); Significant Life Experiences and environmental
identity in the UK and Japan; sustainable development education
in India; comparative environmental education curricula (UK regions and Australia);
sustainable development and environmental education in Japan.
Biographical
Note
Before joining the University
of Edinburgh my background was in earth and environmental sciences and
in secondary school geography teaching, and I was a Development Officer
for the Scottish Earth Science Education
Forum.
In addition to teaching across the School of Education's teacher training
programmes I co-ordinate a multi-disciplinary MSc module (Culture, Ethics
and Environment) at the Centre for Environmental Change and Sustainability
in the School of GeoSciences.
I am currently designing a module for the Outdoor
Environmental and Sustainability Education Masters programme called
Education for Enviromental Citizenship. I am involved in Transition
Edinburgh.
Current
and Recent Research
My main areas
of interest at the moment are:
- The nature of teaching/learning
to 'think global, act local'
- Whether ideas of 'public space'
can be used to analyse global citizenship education
practices (with Morwenna
Griffiths)
- The meanings of 'global citizenship'
(with The University of Stirling as part of the International
Development Education Association of Scotland's project, 'Taking
a Global Approach to Initial Teacher Education'
- How teachers conceptualise pupils
when discussing citizenship and pupil voice
- Teachers experiences of situated,
place-based outdoor learing programmes (with Simon
Beames)
- The development of theoretical
frameworks for understanding outdoor experiences,
in particular in relation to the development of ethics
of care for nature
