Profile

Tom is a human geographer with expertise in children's and youth geographies, and the development of co-creative, interdisciplinary methodologies which put children and young people's voices and actions at the heart of research and impact, particularly in urban planning and design, sustainability, and environmental concerns. Alongside this, his work contributes to understandings of human-nature relations, interactional approaches to outdoor education and digital technologies, and working through international development contexts, focusing here on education, housing, and environment.
