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
