I am a community-based researcher, educator and artist. I have spent more than 30 years working to understand how violence in all its forms (including all the systemic violences) impacts learning in any setting and at any age.
My main emphasis is on discovering, and then teaching others, ways to reduce the negative impacts of violence, neglect, and other traumatic experiences. I am passionate about developing ways to support learning for everyone, whatever the past or present experiences that shape engagement with learning, teaching, and living life creatively.
