About my work

I work at De Montfort University in Leicester, UK, where I am Professor of Education and Technology. I am also a Visiting Professor at the University of South Wales and the University of Sunderland.

At DMU, I act as Director of the Social Sciences Research and Innovation Institute. Previously, I served as Faculty Head of Research Ethics for Health and Life Sciences. I also directed the research and evaluation of the award-winning, Decolonising DMU project.

I supervise PhD students, and teach on undergraduate modules on evidence-based teaching and learning, research methods, and historical and contemporary issues in education.

I am also an Advance HE Principal Fellow and National Teaching Fellow. As a member of the Decolonising DMU team, in 2023 I won an Advance HE Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence (CATE), alongside a Green Gown award for work on decolonising and decarbonising.

My research interests include:

• the idea of the University and radical alternatives to it/transcending the University;
• the place of co-operative practice and mass intellectuality in addressing and moving with-and-through crises; and
• post-coloniality and the University.
