Personal profile

Personal Statement

I am currently working at the Strathclyde Institute of Education as a Chancellor’s Fellow. My research interests include inclusive education, children and young people' voices and participation, sustainable development and technology. I have led research projects funded by the ESRC, NERC and British Council. I was a co-editor for ‘Artificial intelligence and inclusive education: speculative futures and emerging practices’, which won the 2020 Springer Nature New China Development award and is now being translated into Arabic. I was also a core member of the writing group which produced the 3rd version of Scotland's 'National Framework for Inclusion'.

I am the course co-leader for PGCert Inclusive Education (GTCS professional recognition certificate: Additional Support Needs 3-18) and the module co-leader of Inclusive Pedagogy. I regularly deliver professional development programmes for practitioners to build their capacity in inclusive practice. I am also a member of committees and groups including the Scottish Universities Inclusion Group, the Strathclyde Institue of Education’s Global Engagement working group and the Strathclyde Early Years Hub.

I welcome prospective students who are interested in inclusion and diversity issues, international perspectives of inclusive educational development and student/child-led approaches to get in touch regarding supervision opportunities. Please note that I am not accepting new students for the academic year 24/25. Below is a list of on-going projects supervised by colleagues and myself:
