Using action research to promote/study ecojustice via science education

Welcome! On this site, you can learn about my research and publication programme and access related pedagogical resources. Based on the STEPWISE framework, I facilitate action research to develop effective approaches in science/STEM education that help students to critically analyse STEM-SE relationships and develop & implement research-informed & socially-negotiated sociopolitical actions to help overcome risks &/or harms of their concern in such relationships. STEPWISE is particularly aimed at countering pro-capitalist networks to help increase global social justice & environmental vitality. Elaborations of my views are available in my Position Statement.
