The University of Melbourne
I am an Associate Professor in the School of Geography, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia. I teach structural geology, metamorphic geology, tectonics and geodynamics at 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate level. I teach field work as part of both those courses and I also lecture in our 1st year introductory earth science course. I'm interested in many aspects of pedagogy and curriculum design and have a keen interest in understanding spatial cognition. Follow me on twitter @sandramcgeo
