My interests relate to the health and well-being, education, training and employment challenges and opportunities that young people face in the context of digital disruption, climate crisis, and the pandemic.


In contexts of crisis and disruption young people need to be able to access a diversity of opportunities for developing the skills and capabilities that will enable them to ‘live well’. The arts - as a very broad domain - is a space that provides many young people with opportunities and practices to develop skills such as creativity, innovation, leadership and collaboration that they don’t find elsewhere, and which have ‘currency’ beyond the creative industries.
