Interests in Life Long Learning
Since coming to Leeds, interests in psychology have become somewhat more critical and feminist (Still teaches a final year course on Women and Psychology)

Own lifelong learning has been enhanced considerably by the chance to work with Janice Malcolm on the ESRC project from which this paper on Lifelong Learning Pedagogies is taken

Students on the Masters in Lifelong Learning also contributed considerably to the development of ideas for the paper and keep me learning

Currently engaged in extramural lifelong learning through a programme called Common Purpose in which forty people from the public, private and voluntary sectors in Leeds meet once a month to consider a different aspects of the city
