Research interests
Research Interests
My current research and scholarship interests are in learning and teaching in higher education, particularly within the areas of service-learning, assessment and feedback, and collaborative learning.
Aspects of my research include critical perspectives on service-learning; the enhancement of graduate attributes through work-based learning; community voice in student learning; staff-student partnership in summative co-assessment; and the use of technology in assessment and feedback.
My social and public policy research has been on sexuality and adults with learning disabilities; sex education for adults with learning disabilities; and children and young people as carers.
