		I am a retired academic with more than 30 years experience in university teaching, research and senior management in the UK. These days I enjoy spending time reading, writing, walking and travelling, but not all at the same time! I am a Professor Emeritus at Lancaster University where I was Director of the Graduate School (2001-9). I also enjoyed my experiences working with and for the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). In a previous life as a geographer I wrote numerous books and academic papers, mainly on the environment.
