About

My history in academia is an extensive one, having worked in global education institutions in Hawaii, Malaysia, The Netherlands and of course the UK. As well as these positions as professor and visiting professor I have also, through the British Council and other such organisations, travelled to a wide range of other countries to take part in research and industry events.

Outside of work I have been involved in numerous journals and have written 14 books. In my present role as Emeritus Professor at Swansea University it is my pleasure to share my experience with the students of The College.
