My Fellowship was in education and training in the USA. I am a qualified architect (RIBA, PFHEA, PhD) and Dean of the Pratt School of Architecture in Brooklyn, New York. My teaching, research and writing focus upon pioneering new pedagogic models for design education (as captured in the book Radical Pedagogies: Architectural Education and the British Tradition) and for widening participation in architecture to ensure it remains as diverse as the society it seeks to serve, a subject I explore in my book A Gendered Profession.

I have been recognised as an advocate for diversity and inclusion within design education and was nominated by Dezeen as a champion for women in architecture and design in 2019. My latest book, Architects After Architecture (2020), considers the multi-sector impact of an architectural qualification.
