With a background in interdisciplinary social sciences (PhD in Environmental Management and a Masters in Development Studies) I have worked on human-nature interactions in wide range contexts and areas including environmental management, climate change and transformation. My special interest has been community engagement and education for regeneration. Within my project Art For Adaptation and my recent book Creative Approaches to Climate and Peace Education - An Educators Guide for Using Storytelling and Art I explore the potential of art and story in education for transformation and as an engagement practice for diverse communities and social groups.
