Research / Scholarly interests
My main research interests concern student-staff partnerships. I am currently interested in power dynamics and the unique position that research students can adopt. The work on power is important for considering who gets to define a partnership. The role of research students has been little investigated and will help to establish the difference that partnership work can make to their experience and the role that they can play in enhancing education. I am also interested in feedback literacy and have been piloting methods to support students in their development of it. Feedback literacy is an area of growing interest in educational development and my work offers a practical method for improving students' attitudes to and use of feedback. My other interest is in institutional change and how this is best supported for education. This is of obvious practical importance for HEIs as they seek to continuously improve the educational experiences they provide.
