Teaching
I bring interdisciplinary knowledge and an interdisciplinary approach to my teaching work. I have degrees in politics and history, human geography and management and I have taught English, modern studies, history, sociology, psychology, anthropology and social entrepreneurship.
At the Hunter centre for Entrepreneurship I teach a range of subjects focused on new venture creation, strategy and growth. My classes emphasise the collective processes behind entrepreneurship, the importance of the value created by enterprise being captured for the benefit of society and the importance of firms acting with environmental sustainability goals at their core.
