Research Interests

  • My interdisciplinary research, which has spanned various phases of development and evolution over the years, broadly considers the following educational inquiry: how might we create and explore conditions to deal with complex issues, such as socio-ecological impacts and energy transition, through multiple forms of learning and knowledges that transcend disciplinary interventions?
  • Systems Literacy – the capacity to identify, interpret, co-create, relate to, and communicate about how systems work, transcending both the fragmentation of siloed disciplines and reductive models of educational inquiry.
