I am a Professor of Literacy Studies and currently Director of the Literacy Research Centre, Department of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University.

I use primarily ethnographic methods and action research. Current projects includes work on picture books and critical literacy as well as a project that support English literacy teaching for young deaf people in India.
