Biography
I first came to Keele in 1964 as an assistant lecturer, and then progressed through the ranks to Head of the Department and then professor, before taking early retirement in 1998. Since then I have given the occasional lecture and continued my research on academic and student writing. In 2015 I was awarded a Life-time Achievement award from the Education Section of the British Psychological Society.
Research and scholarship
The main – interrelated – themes of my research have been concerned with student learning, the design of instructional text, and academic writing, and I have published widely in each of these areas. I am a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, and the British Psychological Society, and I serve on the editorial boards of three academic journals.
