I currently have three significant roles at the University:

• SEED Director of Teaching, Learning and Students
• Senior Lecturer in TESOL
• Co-Programme Director MA Education for a Sustainable Environment (with Susan Brown) 

In my School Director role, I support Teaching and Learning across the School of Environment, Education and Development (SEED). This includes five departments/institutes: Geography, Planning and Environmental Management, the Manchester Institute of Education, the Global Development Institute, and Architecture.

My TESOL teaching and research is focused on the Psychology of Language Learning, and the use of Ecological and Complexity theories to understand Language Education and Multilingualism in a variety of setttings.

As co-Director of the MA Education for a Sustainable Environment, I am particularly interested in inter/transdisciplinary and "systems" perspectives on complex real world challenges, such as how we, as teachers and educational researchers, respond to the current Climate Emergency.
