Andy is the Head of the Centre for Education and Teaching Innovation. He arrived at Westminster in early 2021 after a career as a leader, teacher and researcher at the Universities of Bath and Gloucestershire. He is a National Teaching Fellow and has taught at all levels of higher education over the past 25 years. And also had a successful research career including a 4* Impact Case Study in the 2014 REF. Andy has a particular interest in transformative and authentic learning, and enjoys building partnerships that create distinctive and challenging student experiences.

Andy has taught at all levels, from Foundation through to PhD, in universities with quite different histories and cultures. He built his teaching reputation in the fields of sports management, sports development and leisure and tourism, but also taught on sociology, management, education, engineering and community studies programmes. Andy promotes student enterprise and community engagement in his teaching, and is committed to partnership working with students and other stakeholders. 

Andy continues to research in the fields of education, pedagogy and community sport. In the early 2000s he was part of a team of researchers who investigated safeguarding in sport, and particularly in football, and this led to a series of publications including a book - Child Welfare in Football - that was published by Routledge in 2007. More recently, he's worked with colleagues on another Routledge text, The Handbook of Authentic Learning, which reflects his more recent interest in pedagogies that give students power and agency.
