I worked as a teacher in secondary, further and community education for 25 years before moving to the University of Edinburgh in 2006. I trained as a teacher of deaf children and an EAL tutor and used both approaches in my work in colleges with deaf students. At Edinburgh I was programme director for the MSc in Inclusive Education from 2014 - 18. I lead the deaf education pathway, the Postgraduate Diploma which teachers of deaf children take. I support the work of the Scottish Sensory Centre, based in the School of Education and I am involved with the British Sign Language Glossary of Curriculum terms based at the SSC. My current research interests are deaf and hearing children's online reading and searching skills, sign bilingualism and language policy.
