Defended and discussed my PhD thesis on local ecological knowledge and environmental education with children in the Galápagos Islands through the @education.ox.ac.uk! Thank you to my examiners, @liamguilfoyle.bsky.social and Diego Román, and supervisors @steveputtick.bsky.social and Ann Childs!
Had such a wonderful time sharing part of my doctoral research at the @beranews.bsky.social conference again this year - this time focusing on the incredible stories that kids in Galapagos shared with me about peer to peer learning for and about environmental topics - including knowledge snowballs!
On the way to the @beranews.bsky.social BERA 2025 conference at the University of Sussex! Looking forward to learning from other education researchers, and presenting part of my doctoral work tomorrow at 16:30 along with other 'Climate and sustainability education' researchers! #BERA2025
Sharing an absolutely incredible opportunity for upper secondary/high school and community college natural science teachers! Apply for the chance to take part in a seminar to the Galápagos Islands with remarkable @stanforduniversity.bsky.social professor, Bill Durham!

Grateful and excited to be working on a UKRI and NERC funded project, through the The Agile Initiative within the @oxmartinschool.bsky.social - 'NetZeroEd: How can curriculum designers provide better NetZero education for the next generation?' @steveputtick.bsky.social@isobel-talks-food.bsky.social
Breaking free of the dangerous pretence that current efforts suffice demands a fundamental rethink of the UK’s climate policy consensus.
Grateful to be an advising voice for non-profit, EcoEducate, founded by friend and mentor Richard Knab. Blog post below on some of the incredible evolution of local education in Galápagos that I've observed through research on the islands over the past 12 years!

After nearly four years of work and research, I submitted my doctoral thesis this June after working with so many incredible Galapagos kids! One big step closer to defending and completing the PhD/DPhil in @education.ox.ac.uk! To work that centres children, communities, and ecocentric sustainability
