Relational
agency
in education.
I research, teach and collaborate to design learning environments in which relationships, diversity and responsibility support the agency of learners and teachers.
Designing learning environments in the age of AI — for the future of education.
Agency is not individual. It is relational.
I explore the conditions in which education creates space for shared decision-making, responsible action and development — including environments increasingly co-created with AI technologies.
Research areas
One perspective.
Four fields of inquiry.
Each area connects research, university teaching and the application of knowledge in educational practice.

From knowledge to
pedagogical action.
Research is my starting point for understanding educational situations more deeply, designing conditions for learning and engaging in reflective action with teachers and students.
RESEARCHI collect data and analyse complex educational phenomena
UNDERSTANDI interpret them through theory and experience
DESIGNI create educational solutions and learning environments
ACTI implement, collaborate and support practice
REFLECTI evaluate and develop solutions in dialogue with practice

Researcher. Teacher educator.
University teacher.
I combine extensive school experience with educational research and the design of initial teacher education. I am interested in what happens between theory and practice: how knowledge is translated into decisions, relationships and conditions for learning.
