"I try to relate my teaching to my research, inasmuch as I try to always discuss my thinking on the key questions that have stayed with me through all my years as an undergraduate, a postgraduate, and an academic - questions of power and government, of the role of law, and of the limits of sovereignty."

"There’s many things about teaching that I really enjoy but my main joy is to see students start to realise how theory and practice connect and what this can bring to their lives."

"What gives me greatest satisfaction in teaching is students who want to learn, who ask themselves hard questions.

"That is what we are here for."

"We humans continue to develop technological capacity but we still have much to do to find ways to better understand and hence better conduct our social relationships."

"Most of the time people who choose to study Community Development want to see, hear about and read examples of how this work gets done. One of the things I am enjoying right now is being able to show people what I have seen in my travels." "I enjoy teaching ideas and perspectives that change the way students look at the world around them. I like to challenge them with possibilities they may never have considered, so that they can think and do things differently."
