Graham Barton
Following an early career in commercial property as a chartered surveyor, Graham Barton switched to parallel careers in performing arts, as a musician/sound designer/producer and in higher education (in which he specialized in English for academic purposes and learning development). His educational interests have emerged from these personal and professional changes, and from finding ways to draw on educational theories as vehicles to help learners engage with transformative learning. Areas of pedagogic research interest include academic study as creative practice, contemplative practices for self-enquiry in learning, sound arts practice, threshold concepts and practices, disciplinary discourses, three-dimensional conceptual mapping and other creative methodologies for developing student epistemic-, systemic- and meta-cognition.
