I am a Reader in Education, with a particular focus on reconceptualist approaches to curriculum and pedagogy. These approaches seek to challenge and expand traditional views of curriculum by considering it as a dynamic, complex, and socially constructed process rather than a static, content-driven framework. Drawing on critical, poststructuralist, and post-human philosophies, my research examines how curriculum can be transformed to meet the changing needs individuals and society. I am particularly interested in how curriculum can disrupt dominant power structures and promote social justice and inclusion.
A core element of my research is the currere method, a phenomenological, autobiographical method that invites participants to reflect on their lived educational experiences in developing cogent statements of curricular understanding.
