Jane is a part-time DPhil student and secondary school geography teacher. Jane’s research focuses on understanding climate change anxiety in young people and how it can be addressed through developing holistic pedagogical strategies which equip learners to develop their own sense of agency.

Jane completed an MSc in Learning and Teaching at the University of Oxford in 2022. Her dissertation addressed the misconceptions held by Year 8 learners about the continent of Africa and explored the role of geography teachers in tackling the dangers of single stories by decolonising the geography curriculum.

Jane teaches geography at a co-educational state grammar school.
