Main research and teaching interests:
I have been first supervisor for 10 completed PhDs in Education, and currrently I am first supervisor for three more doctoral students, and co-supervisor to another two. Doctoral supervision requires a combination of my capacities across different fields.
International experience:
I started academic life as an engineer, being awarded a first in Engineering (MA Cambridge) and working for British Rail. I then moved fields to train as a science teacher, completing a PGCE in Oxford University, and worked in schools in disadvantaged areas in the UK for four years, and in Indonesia with VSO for three years as a science teacher and teacher trainer.
I came to Manchester to complete an MSc Educational Research in 1996 and continued on to a PhD in Education here. For six years I worked as a research associate on development and research projects relating to inclusive education, with an action research element. In 2004 I became a lecturer in science education and have continued to develop my research in relation to science education and disadvantage as a senior lecturer.
