David is a Senior Lecturer in Health and Physical Education at the School of Education.

Background

David is an experienced researcher and educator who has worked across school and university contexts.

David’s research interests lie in developing sociocultural understanding of the interrelationships that exist between culture, policy, people, and practice across sport, health and physical education. Previous research has included understanding student lived experiences of transition in education and working with government agencies, curriculum authorities, teacher educators and educators in the enactment of policy and curriculum within schools and teacher education. Currently his research is focused on the re-visioning of sport, health and physical education across institutional, industry and community settings.

These interests are reflected in David’s Undergraduate teaching, Masters and PhD supervision. Outside of university, David enjoys participating in paddleboarding, swimming and other adventurous activities.
