Biography

I am an experienced academic, teacher, writer and activist-scholar, specialising in critical race and decolonial social theory with over 20 years' experience in UK and international higher education sectors, as well as industries outside of this arena. As a specialist in this area, I have applied critical pedagogy and antiracist frameworks to every level of my learning and teaching with demonstrable, sustainable and wide-reaching success. I have taught, trained and advised students and professionals at every level from first year UG through to senior academics in positions of institutional leadership, and perform to the highest standards, as evidenced in my application and from testimonials from students, colleagues and participants of the workshops I have run. My published work is used extensively for both learning and teaching, policy, institutional change and research purposes.
