Personal statement
I joined the University of Strathclyde in 2021 as a Lecturer in the School of Education. I received my PhD from the University of Auckland (Aotearoa New Zealand) and two postgraduate degrees (EdM and MA) from Columbia University (New York, USA). I held previous academic appointments at the University of Auckland and Towson University (Baltimore, USA) in the areas of education, health and kinesiology. I conduct research and teach modules related to Qualitative Research Methods, Health and Wellbeing, and Sociocultural Issues in Education.

Our learning objectives are:
1. To develop participants’ abilities to understand and discuss the goals, strengths and weaknesses of theoretical frameworks and research methods.
2. To increase participant familiarity with a variety of approaches, methods and analysis tools that are referred to as qualitative.
3. To learn how to write up a data analysis and results section to a qualitative research report.
