With over forty years of experience in the field of education, I have held a wide range of roles spanning teaching, consultancy, and editorial work.
As Literary Editor for the International Journal of Art and Design Education, I authored numerous academic papers exploring innovative educational practices. My writing has also featured regularly in the Times Educational Supplement, Byline Times, and The Ecologist.
I have also contributed to television programmes on education and culture such as the BBC’s Education Today, Amazing Spaces and Rankin Shoots Rembrandt. During this time, I worked as an education consultant to the Prince’s Teaching Institute, organising and running national conferences, and served as a subject consultant for the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency, preparing briefing documents for the Department for Education. In 2004, I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Alongside my professional work in education, I have been actively engaged in environmental and civic initiatives. I served as a Green Councillor on Redbourn Parish Council, co-founded MP Watch and Music Declares Emergency, and have long been committed to climate and social justice advocacy.
Over the past six years, I worked within Extinction Rebellion’s Media and Messaging team, liaising with broadcast and print journalists to develop effective climate communication strategies, with a particular focus on countering climate denial and media disinformation.
My current work with Media Revolution represents a natural continuation of this mission – challenging the falsehoods perpetuated by billionaire-owned media and advocating for truth, accountability, and transformative change.
