Overview

Peter has worked as a Primary and Secondary teacher in Australia and the United Kingdom. He lectures in in Sustainability Education, Professional Development, History and Geography in the B.Primary Education program in the School of Education. Peter’s teaching and research is underpinned by his belief that children should be given opportunities to have a voice in addressing global social and environmental issues relevant to them.
