Writing paper for SER special issue on Play (submission September 2019): Play as a mode of capability development in upper primary
In the current year, I'm aiming to undertake a small research study looking at the impact of outdoor learning on the attainment gap. Have some partners who may be able to help turn this into a pilot study but proposal and funding still have to be created and secured.
Desired research direction
Broadly, studies looking at how pedagogy can help/hinder the development of the Self. This manifests most often in research into outdoor learning and play.

Have had productive encounters with:
- Timberplay Scotland
- Eco Drama
- East Ayrshire's COACh team
Other areas of expertise available for knowledge exchange
- Supporting LGBT learners/children of LGBT families
