Dr Katherine MycockImpact Officer and Researcher at the University of Derby, United KingdomEmail: k.mycock@derby.ac.ukProfilePublicationsExpertiseProfileI began my career as a teacher of geography with a particular love of doing fieldwork and outdoor learning with young people. I returned to Higher Education to follow my passion for outdoor learning and completed a PhD exploring how children learn about nature through Participatory Research Methods and Ethnography. Since completing my PhD I have worked in professional services and postdoctoral roles, and I continue to do research with children, young people and educational practitioners. Recently, I have been a member of a team who evaluated the introduction of the Action and Inclusion Model to pre-schools in Ireland and a pilot creative mentoring programme run by a Local Authority.ResearchPublicationsMycock, K. and Gowers, S.
