Personal profile

Biography

The first ten years of my career were spent getting people lost in the wilds of North America and Southeast Asia - all in the name of the participants' personal development (and mine too!). Since completing my PhD on Overseas youth expeditions, I have become more concerned with how people learn about "place" by undertaking journeys within their local communities. I am also interested in using social theory to examine outdoor learning practice .
