Dr Steven Chubb, PhD

Biography

Having taught for 10 years in London and Cumbria, I joined the University (then St Martin's College) as a senior lecturer in Geography Education and Human Geography in 1998.

I have taught on the Geography PGCE since then, and been subject leader for Secondary Geography since 2009. I also taught on the BSc Geography degree until 2011.

I was Programme Leader for the Core PGCE between 2014-2019.

My research interest in the school curriculum, school structure and policy have grown over the years and these areas formed the background for my Phd in Educational Research, completed in 2020.
