Had such a wonderful time sharing part of my doctoral research at the @beranews.bsky.social conference again this year - this time focusing on the incredible stories that kids in Galapagos shared with me about peer to peer learning for and about environmental topics - including knowledge snowballs!

After nearly four years of work and research, I submitted my doctoral thesis this June after working with so many incredible Galapagos kids! One big step closer to defending and completing the PhD/DPhil in @education.ox.ac.uk! To work that centres children, communities, and ecocentric sustainability
