Learning Sciences, Psychology of Education

Summary

Over the past decade, I have worked within the field of human development and neuroscience, particularly as these disciplines apply to educational theory and practice. I am especially interested in the role of emotion, empathy and value in human development, learning and wellbeing, as evidenced in social/educational contexts and the functioning brain. In line with developmental science, generally, over the past decade my research has progressively been underpinned by Dynamic Systems Theory (DST). My empirical research methods include Electroencephalogram (EEG), eye-tracking, micro- genetic observation and State Space Grids (SSGs) together with more traditional research methods.
