About me
Verity is an Associate Professor in Education at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Her long standing research focus has been on routes to sustainable futures (both social and environmental). For thirty years Verity has been committed to developing networks of trust with communities and organisations. Due to the high demand for her skills she has had the opportunity to be involved with a variety of projects with public engagement and knowledge exchange at their core. Project themes have included: food systems, extreme weather events, the impact of fast fashion, awareness of plants and the value of biodiversity, and children's racialised experiences. Verity recently worked with an interdisciplinary team on the first citizen science project in schools gathering data relating to airborne microfibres. She has developed education materials for, amongst others the BBC, Nature England, WJEC, Centre for Alternative Technology and Fashion Revolution.
At present Verity is working in partnership with Global Goals Centre to develop and lead education experiences at Sparks (Bristol's sustainable department store). She also leads the development of the Sustainability and Circular Economy learning for Cymbrogi Futures.
Verity co-leads the Sustainability research strand of the School of Education and Childhoods Research Group with Dr Tessa Podpadec. She chairs the Climate Change Primary Education Research Network (CPPERN) – please get in touch if you would like to be involved.
