Penelope Willians (Pen) is a doctoral researcher at the School of Education, University of Bristol. Her research interests are outdoor learning for citizenship, creative methods and critical pedagogies. She works as a research assistant, graduate teacher and sustainability education workshop manager. With over 20 years’ experience in education, Pen has taught English and Media across secondary level specialising in post-16 education, has run training in work-based education for the civil service, and is a qualified level 5 coach. In her doctoral research Pen employs creative methods and has recently completed an outdoor based photovoice project with post-16 students in the Southwest of England exploring their views on citizenship and the relationship between local, national and global issues. For this project Pen developed a form of ‘compact’ photovoice as pedagogy and method, utilising local outdoor spaces. The process culminated in a physical exhibition of participants’ photographs, curated by the participants themselves which can be viewed via the online gallery (https://citizenshipgallery.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/the-bigger-picture-and-the-everyday-online-gallery/).
