Teaching

My teaching spans disaster risk, climate justice, urban governance, and participatory research methods. I have experience delivering lectures, seminars, workshops, and guest teaching across undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional learning contexts.

My approach to teaching emphasises:

• Critical engagement with theory and practice
• Learning through dialogue and reflection
• Participatory and problem-based methods
• Connecting academic knowledge to real-world policy and community challenges

I am particularly interested in teaching that supports students and practitioners to think critically about justice, power, and lived experience in environmental governance.

Alongside academic work, I am actively engaged in community- and policy-facing research and facilitation. This includes working with local authorities, NGOs, and community organisations on issues related to flood risk, resilience, displacement, and justice.

My engagement work focuses on:

• Co-producing knowledge with communities
• Supporting inclusive participation in decision-making
• Bridging research, policy, and practice
• Translating complex concepts into accessible formats

A key strand of my work involves designing and using participatory tools to support learning, dialogue, and reflection. This includes the co-development and use of serious games as research and engagement tools.

I use participatory approaches to:

• Explore complex social and environmental challenges
• Support collective learning and relational understanding
• Surface diverse perspectives and lived experiences
• Foster more just and inclusive governance conversations

I am particularly interested in opportunities related to:

• Teaching in geography, disaster studies, environmental justice, and interdisciplinary social science fields
• Community-based research and engagement
• Policy-relevant training and facilitation
• Innovative pedagogical and participatory methods
