Research Interests:
My research interests are mainly interdisciplinary but currently focus on the interaction of Language, Education and Pedagogy. My current research centres on how to use literature and literary texts to study language at all levels of education but especially at the Secondary and Tertiary Levels. The objective is to distinguish discourse and the organizing principles of discourse in various contexts, but particularly in Educational contexts, with respect to how they can be used to impact upon and promote knowledge production, literacy and transformational goals and outcomes in the social subjects/educational participants.
