Charlotte is an international educator with twenty two years’ experience in a variety of roles including teacher, leader, school-to-school consultant and education policy advisor for the UK government, working in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Bali. Charlotte has dedicated her professional life to championing the lives of children and the natural world, deepening knowledge, wisdom and finesse in curricula design, professional development, sustainability for education, and creative and critical dispositions for learning.
Charlotte is currently a PhD researcher in the Department of Education, University of Bath working at the nexus of theory and practice. Her doctoral inquiry explores animal-child relations to consider how international schools might shift from human-exceptionalism to more regenerative pedagogical practices. Charlotte employs posthumanist and feminist new materialist theories and practices to co-create playful, arts-based research with animals and children.
In an increasingly fragile and precarious world, Charlotte believes that educational ecosystems could design more learning experiences that help us all to notice and attend to the living and non-living contributions to the world around us. Exploring and expressing the complex relationships in our world with creativity and sensitivity helps us all to develop care, responsibility and hope for more generative, flourishing futures.
