Learning for Healthy, Sustainable and Regenerative Futures
I am exploring how our lifewide learning and action contributes to healthy, sustainable, regenerative selves, communities, cultures and environments. I am currently exploring the idea of sustainable self as an organism for interbeing in an ecological world.
I offer research-based interactive presentations and workshops aimed at exploring the ways in which our lifewide learning and actions contribute to healthy, sustainable and regenmerative futures with a focus on the UNESCO Sustainable Development Goals.

Ecology of learning, creativity, teaching and all forms of practice
I have explored and developed the idea of ecologies for learning and practice and applied the ideas to higher education
https://www.learningecologies.uk/
I offer a range of research-based interactive presentations and workshops to introduce the idea to academic staff and to encourage them to evaluate and apply the ideas to their own teaching and learning situations. I have developed activities that encourage HE teachers to develop a deeper understanding of their personal pedagogy. In 2019 I co-facilitated a 2 day workshop at Harvard on this theme.

A Lifewide Concept of Learning, Development, Achievement and Education : Realising a more imaginative curriculum
My interest in the idea of lifewide learning and education began in 2008, when I was Diirector of the Surrey Centre for Excellence in Professional Training and Education, at the University of Surrey. We developed and piloted the Surrey Lifewide Learning Award and the results were published in a book (Jackson 2011). In 2011 I formed a new organisation the Lifewide Education Community to promote, develop and apply the ideas developed by SCEPTrE.
I offer presentations and workshops on the idea and practice of lifewide learning which also form the basis for my current research and development work on learning ecologies. I offer consultancy on how a university might encourage and recognise students' lifewide learning and achievements.

The Wicked Challenge of Changing a University
Between 2011-13 I was commissioned by Southampton Solent University to undertake an interview based study of how the university had changed through a three year programme of strategic change funded by HEFCE. It was a great privilege to talk to the many teachers who had been inspired to innovate through the programme. The research was published in a book which I co-wrote with two members of the university.
The case study, together with my own experience of trying to bring about educational change at the University of Surrey and my brokerage for agencies like the Quality Assurance Agency and Higher Education Academy, informs my presentations and workshops on changing higher education.
