In 2001 I moved to the University of Plymouth to take up a post as a lecturer in Human Geography. I became a Principal Lecturer in 2004, a Reader in 2007 and was promoted to Professor in 2017. My inaugural lecture was on ‘Citizen Geographies, Citizen Geographers’ and reflected some of my long standing teaching and research interests in geography. I was appointed Director of the Doctoral College in 2022.
I have also been a visiting research fellow at Curtin University of Technology in Western Australia; Massey University, New Zealand and the Ruralia Institute, University of Helsinki.

Roles on external bodies
I am an active member of the Royal Geographical Society and have undertaken various committee roles for the Rural Geography Research Group. I’m also a member of the Geographical Association, serving as editor for their flagship journal ‘Geography’ and helping to establish the South Devon Branch. I have given numerous lectures to branches and welcome invitations to speak!

Teaching interests
My third year module on the Geographies of Citizenship brings together my research interests in this field and draws on local speakers and field visits to explore the relationship between citizenship and geography. My other specialist module examines The Global Countryside and makes use of Dartmoor to examine key issues affecting rural places.
I established and lead our Masters in 'Human Geography Research', which fulfils the ESRC’s training requirements for doctoral students. I also contribute to the 'Masters in Planning' with a specialist module on Rural Planning.
I recently became a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in recognition of my teaching quality and contributions to national teaching agendas.
