BIO

As a Professor of Education in the School of Education my research focuses on
young people, their education, training and employment pathways, and their
health and well-being, at a time of profound planetary crises that are
emerging at the convergence of the 6th Mass Extinction and the 4th Industrial
Revolution. The [Young People's Sustainable Futures
Lab](https://youngpeoplesfutureslab.org) is a repository for our current
research project collaborations.
