Charlotte is an international educator and PhD researcher at the University of Bath whose work explores how education might respond more carefully and ethically within fragile, more-than-human worlds. Her research and pedagogy attend to place, asking how learning might unfold with both the living and the non-living in ways that are creative, relational, and speculative. She is particularly interested in how ecological relationships can be felt, expressed, and learned-with, cultivating capacities for care, responsibility, and multispecies flourishing. Across her work, Charlotte explores how narratives might be re/written collectively, co-authored by many rather than the few.
With over twenty-five years’ experience, Charlotte has worked across teaching, leadership, consultancy, and education policy advisory roles for the UK government. Her practice spans diverse international contexts, including the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and Bali, and includes teaching across K–12 as well as designing and leading professional learning programmes for educators.
Her doctoral research focuses on animal–child relations in international school settings, exploring how education might move beyond human-exceptionalism towards more regenerative, place-responsive pedagogies. Working with/in posthumanist feminist materialist theory, her inquiry employs post-qualitative, playful, and arts-based approaches to co-create research with children and animals. She is particularly drawn to writing with children and animals to generate ethical, creative, and relational scholarship.In 2025, this work was recognised with an award from the Australian Journal of Environmental Education, where she also serves as Reviews Editor.
Alongside her research, Charlotte works at the nexus of research and practice as a humanities and literacies teacher with upper school students at Green School Bali. She also hosts the Green Spark podcast, an ongoing conversation that shares stories from the community aimed at nurturing a love of living and learning that makes a positive difference to our shared worlds.
