Additional information

After a very traditional West of Scotland career in shipbuilding, I taught for seven years in secondary schools as a teacher of technical subjects and as a teacher with responsibility for pastoral care. I joined the School of Education (then called the Faculty of Education) in 2001 as a lecturer in the Department of Educational Studies. I am married with four daughters and have an irrational attachment to a team from the East End of Glasgow.
