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.
My previous books - single and co-authored monographs and edited collections - include: (2023) COVID-19 and the (Broken) Promise of Education for Sustainable Development: A Case Study from Post-Colonial Pakistan; (2022) Art Based Social Enterprise, Young Creatives and the Forces of Marginalisation; (2022) Young People and Thinking Technologies in/for the Anthropocene; (2022) Young People and Stories for the Anthropocene; (2020) Belonging, Identity, Time and Young People’s Engagement in the Middle Years of School; (2019) Social Justice in Times of Crisis and Hope: Young People, Wellbeing and the Politics of Education; (2019) Re-thinking Young People's Marginalisation: Beyond Neo-Liberal Futures?,; (2019) Young People and the Politics of Outrage and Hope; (2015) A Critical Youth Studies for the 21st Century; (2013) The Self as
