Biography
I joined the University of Western Sydney in January 2013 as a Lecturer in the School of Education. I had previously held academic posts in a number of Higher Education Institutions in the UK, including, the University of East London, the University of Greenwich, the College of St Mark & St John and St Mary’s University College. The roles I held in these institutions included Program Director of the BA in Education studies at St Mary’s and, subsequently, of the Master’s in Youth & Community Work which I developed at the University of East London, where I also supervised undergraduate and postgraduate research students.
I have extensive experience of working with young people in various educational settings. After gaining a teaching qualification at the ‘Centre Pedagogique Regional’ in Casablanca, I taught in Morocco in the early 80s and subsequently moved to south London where I worked as a Youth Worker within multi-agency partnerships for several years. It was this experience that inspired my research interest in the difficult relations that many young people from marginalised communities face in their interactions with schooling.
