I have also had experience as acting Head of Department here in Canterbury.
Subject expertise includes Christology, Eucharistic theology, Philosophy of Religion, and modern Anglican theology.

I have taught modules on many areas of Christian theology, including Patristics, Classical Christian Mysticism, the Reformation, Victorian Religion, and Systematic Theology.
I lead the supervision of a number of research students to PhD level.
Current topics pursued by postgraduate research students include Theology and Science, 18th and 19th Century Anglicanism, and Theology and Asexuality.
Experience of successful PhD supervisions in the past includes theses on theological language, Russian Sophiology, and theology and Darwinism.
