His pedagogical and creative research over the last 30 years has been entangled encounters with: images of thought and memory, rhizomatic & meta-cognitive learning theories, fuzzy narratives and virtual and physical liminal teaching spaces. This research critiques the relationships between autobiographical memory and photography, Deleuzian and Guattarian ideas of becoming rhizomatic, assembling agency, nomadic thinking, active blended learning, with ideas of belonging and critical pedagogies.
