TEACHING & SUPERVISION
Most of my teaching is in the Department of Education, Childhood and Inclusion (Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities). Teaching topics of particular note include:
- the potential of Disability Studies for the study and practice of education
- the potential of 'disability theories' for enhancing professional practice
- researching disability/education through texts
- debating contemporary education issues
- embodied experiences of education
In recent years, my teaching on Disability Studies led to a co-authored textbook (with Katherine Runswick-Cole) entitled Approaching Disability: Critical Issues and Perspectives which is now used as the set text on various undergraduate courses.
Postgraduate supervision
I am currently supervising doctoral students on these topics:
- deconstructing 'dyslexia' in university study support
- exploring 'challenging behaviour' and school sport
- 'experiencing' the SENCO quantification
