Description of research/teaching activities
My main teaching and research activities centre on moral, spiritual and philosophical issues as they relate to education and to the wider culture. I am presently working on two scholarly projects: 1) the design of physical space as it relates to values education, 2) the commercialization of education and the ethical issues arising.
