Interests

My areas of interest have broadened beyond those developed during my MSc (e.g. the acculturation of migrant and former refugee young people; Participatory Action Research; youth development; education) to the social, learning, behavioural and ecological factors impacting on a child's ability to get the most out of their school years (which may include acculturation or intercultural communication issues).
