Keynote Speakers

Dr Pamela Woolner

Reader in Use and Design of Educational Space, School of Education, Communication and Language Sciences, Newcastle University Pamela’s research interests centre on understanding and developing the physical learning environment. This includes examining the historical and research background to recent developments in school buildings, and investigating the participation of users (including students, teachers, non-teaching staff and the wider community) in the design process. I have become increasingly interested in how visual techniques, including photo elicitation and mapping activities, can facilitate such participation.
