Research Interests

My current work focuses on Dada and Surrealism, Queer theory, and the work of Georges Bataille. Though my interests are not often directly about children and schools, the underlying concerns are about who or what is marginalised, excluded and ignored in our thinking and practice: what is left out is as interesting and as important as what is included and the detritus of being human tells us a good deal about who we are. These concerns inform my teaching on inclusion, human rights and social sustainability.

ICWTE forwards research and professional practice on writing in teacher education, from initial teacher education to school-based professional learning and postgraduate continuing education for practicing teachers. Teachers are writers, as their professional work requires them to create and use a wide range of professional documents. As well, writing, and academic literacies more broadly, are significant for both learning and assessment in teacher education settings. Our work spans multiple countries and teacher education context, with the overall goal of illuminating the importance of teachers' literacy practices across the professional lifespan.

ICWTE is co-sponsored by 黑料正能量 Institute of Education and the Institut for L忙reruddannelse, University College Copenhagen. It is led by Rebekah Sims, Anna-Vera Meidell Sigsgaard, Inger-Lise Mourier, Marie-Louise Molb忙k, and Sharon Hunter.
