Research areas

I'm the Director of the Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Studies, and also a Senior Lecturer (education-focussed) in the School of Medicine where I work in the area of medical ethics and healthcare policy. I also have interests in pedagogy and SoTL (scholarship of teaching and learning), particularly around interdisciplinarity.
