I’m Dom. I was born in London, but I’ve moved around a lot and have lived and worked in the UK, Italy, Vietnam, Kazakhstan and Turkey. Right now I’m a research fellow at Coventry University and I’m enjoying living in the countryside outside the city. My research is primarily in education with a focus student and teacher development.
I’m working with colleagues from Indonesia as part of DICE. I think it’s a really interesting and valuable project and I expect it to be transformational for the community. I’ve travelled a bit in Indonesia, most notably for me a trek up Mt Rinjani with a torn ACL. The travel guide told me it would be easy. It wasn’t!
