Biography

In my previous lives I worked as a welder, civil servant, TEFL teacher in Italy and Spain, and private sector research consultant.  I took my first degree at the University of Leeds in 1996, followed by a Masters degree in Public Order at the Scarman Centre, University of Leicester.  After six years doing policy evaluation research, I completed my doctorate at the University of Lancaster in 2011. My doctorate was entitled, 'The Basque Education Plan for Peace and Human Rights: Towards a More Sustainable Model of Peacebuilding in Euskadi' and addresses the politics surrounding this ground-breaking policy development.  The two articles published from the thesis thus far are listed below, as are the publications from my period spent as a research consultant to one of the UK's government departments.
