I work at the Institute of Education which is University College London's Faculty of Education. I am an educator, researcher and writer who has worked in academia for over thirteen years across several institutions in the UK. With an interdisciplinary background including sociology, philosophy and education, I am interested in exploring educational and social inequalities through innovative theoretical frameworks and creative methodologies relevant to everyday educational practice, such as, new materialist and posthuman pedagogies. My scholarship operates in the intersections of youth studies, methodology, philosophy and critical theory/pedagogy. I have published in various educational journals and have co-authored and co-edited several books published by Routledge, including Questioning Gender Politics: Contextualising Educational Disparities in Uncertain Times (2024) and Towards Posthumanism in Education Theoretical Entanglements and Pedagogical Mappings (2024).

I am a senior lecturer and research fellow in Early Childhood Studies and Environmental Humanities, and chair my programme's Decolonising Childhood Working Group. I currently research family climate support and resilience. My expertise is in using creative, participatory methods to explore human environment relations, outdoor play, eco-social justice and equitable future wellbeing.

I am an early childhood/primary teacher and university teacher educator in geography and environmental education. As Co-Director of @Attention2Place, I engage children, teaching professionals and local communities in place responsive and relational pedagogical encounters with more-than-human worlds. I research from transdisciplinary, materialist, and posthumanist perspectives.
