Brief biography
I am currently teaching on the undergraduate degree as well as the extended degree programme here at UEL. My PhD looked at Children’s Accounts of Mathematics and I used Q Methodology, which is a wonderful methodology that allows subjectivity to be scientifically explored. I have been a member of staff at UEL since 2001 and I was previously an undergraduate here.
