Areas of Research
Evolutionary origins, diversification and conservation of Amazonian primates and biodiversity.
I have developed and delivered modules at institutions including the University of Auckland, the National Institute of Amazonia Research, and the University of Salford. I lead Salford’s “Ecology in Action” module and have directed field trips to the Amazon for six years, integrating research with practical learning. In addition, I teach MSc modules in Conservation Planning and Global Challenges and co lead an Undergraduate module on Primatology.
