Profile Information

Profile information
I was Chair of the new RSA Fellowship Council 2009/2010. I have a particular interest in looking at new formats and approaches to helping us get connected and make and do things.

Apart from the RSA, my big projects at the moment is Social Spaces.

I also work in education, currently lecturing part time on metacognition on the University of Chichester MA (Ed) programme.

I start my PHD at Institute of Education in April 2012. The study will focus on expanding the research results of my MA research into learning processes for enhancing executive control, and integrating wellbeing and learning into a metacognitive framework.

Unlocking Fellowship Potential in Different Ways

I firstly wanted to say thank you all the responses to the blog post I put out on Monday looking for potential partners for the SimpleCRB project. Everyone can see the potential of the RSA Fellowship, but we sometimes find it difficult to realise that potential in practical ways. From the blog post I had emails/comments from about 9 Fellows who had ideas or wanted to support the project, so thank you very much for responding so positively and quickly!

 

It was with this fresh…

SimpleCRB - Brilliant project needs partner

Big Society

A conversation about how people are interpreting the concept of Big Society and does it need tightening as Matthew Taylor suggests, or might a 'baggy' concept be a strength and help more people get involved?

Review of RSA Fellowship nings, social networks

Over the next few months the RSAde Group will be consolidating regional social networks and nings. The aim will be to improve connectivity for Fellows, improve communication and reduce fragmentation. 

Therefore there will be an increase of regional and thematic groups over the next few months.

If you would like further information on these changes please contact the RSAde team via the Digital Engagement group on this network. 

 

RSA Events

Does Population Matter?

One of the world’s leading geographers Professor Danny Dorling visits the RSA to argue that our concerns over population growth may be overblown.

The Power of Vulnerability

Influential author and speaker Dr Brené Brown tackles the myth that vulnerability is a weakness. Instead, she argues, it is the clearest path to courage and meaningful connection, and has the power to transform the way we engage and educate.

NHS at 65: rejuvenate or retire?

The NHS turns 65 this year at a time of significant change and unprecedented financial challenge. The RSA and the Nuffield Trust bring together panel of influential thinkers from the health sector and beyond to debate whether it is time for the NHS to be retired off or whether there is scope for reinvention.
