Research interests
Tim is interested in the emotional aspects of learning and teaching, and the history of radical pedagogies, especially the crop of ideas from the late 1960s and early 1970s about bringing an end to compulsory schooling. Added to this, he is particularly interested in theories of adult education, and in the work of Paulo Freire, who forms the current focus of his research.
Teaching
Tim teaches on the Foundation Programme, and runs a variety of study skills courses for TILL students and mature students elsewhere in the University. He also teaches on the MEd in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, and contributes to the Doctorate in Education programmes. He is also a CILASS Fellow, and takes an active interest in inquiry-based learning and how it might apply to part-time mature students.
In 2009, Tim won a Rising Star Senate Award for excellence in teaching and learning, the third Senate Award for the department in three years.
