Interests
My research interests are in writing, adult education as a social movement and adult education policy. My interest in writing stems from working in formal and informal education, in adult basic education, creative writing and academic literacy. My interest in adult education as a social movement and policy is rooted in organising, developing and delivering adult education in various settings, including higher education.
