PhD Supervision

 

I am happy to discuss the possibility of supervising PhD students in a variety of topics, including educational technology and the areas listed above under current research interests. Importantly the proposed topic should include some consideration of social, economic, cultural and /or political elements. Given my broadly critical perspective my preference is to supervise students using qualitative research methods.
