Biography

As a Professor of Education in the School of Education my research focuses on young people, their education, training and employment pathways, and their health and well-being, at a time of profound planetary crises that are emerging at the convergence of the 6th Mass Extinction and the 4th Industrial Revolution. The Young People's Sustainable Futures Lab is a repository for our current research project collaborations.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, these interests are framing the development of a research agenda titled: COVID-19 and Young People’s Well-being, Education, Training and Employment Pathways: Scenarios for Young People’s Sustainable Futures.

My previous books include: Social Justice in Times of Crisis and Hope: Young People, Wellbeing and the Politics of Education, Re-thinking Young People’s Marginalisation: Beyond Neo-Liberal Futures?, Young People and the Politics of Outrage and Hope, A Critical Youth Studies for the 21st Century; The Self as Enterprise: Foucault and the Spirit of 21st Century Capitalism, and Working in Jamie’s Kitchen: Salvation, Passion and Young Workers
