About the Speakers
Dr Tasie Tao
She was a PhD student at the Development Education Research Centre (DERC) of IOE from 2016 to 2022.
Her research areas include global citizenship in higher education, global skills, international mobility, transformative learning and Chinese students.
Her PhD dissertation explores how international students perceive themselves as global citizens and examines the specific skills they have developed while studying in the UK. During her PhD journey, Tasie worked full-time as an education consultant and part-time as a teaching assistant at UCL.
Dr John Seymour
He started his career as a hospital doctor, but his growing understanding of human wholeness led him to be ordained a priest in the Church of England.
Following a curacy in the East End of London, John spent eight years as a senior leader in a school establishing a multi-academy trust. John brought a Critical Pedagogy model to the Trust's Christian foundation, enabling the MAT to extend its offer to serve a mixed-faith population.
John's doctorate provides a theological history of this work. His thesis begs an analysis of the educational impact of the implicit worldviews communicated across a range of religious and secular pedagogies.
Dr Sue Sissling
Sue’s varied professional experience in the field of science and STEM education led to interest in the environment for secondary science teachers’ continuing professional development in England, which she explored through her research for the the EdD programme at UCL.
Perspectives gathered from policy influencers, school-based continuing professional development (CPD) providers, and science teachers were the basis for interpreting the environment.
Sue's research suggested that whilst CPD might seem an obvious policy solution to strengthen science education, the premise is not straightforward, with varied stakeholder understandings and complex relationships between CPD policy development and enactment. Findings and insights from the research are relevant to future professional development policy and practice in science education and other subjects.
