I took a degree in mathematics at Oxford University in the sixties, then had nothing at all to do with academic life for many years until I came to the University of Kent in 1992, first to do a Postgraduate diploma in IT skills, then a Masters in Social Statistics. My work ranges from advice on the purchase and use of software and hardware to classes for both graduate and undergraduate students on IT and statistical skills relevant to the Social Sciences. I am particularly interested in promoting numeracy, and a better understanding of statistics and statistical ideas in everyday life.
In addition to my regular work, I have also administered two major international conferences hosted by the department: the 16th Annual Meeting of the Society for Conservation Biology in 2002 and the 9th Congress of the International Society of Ethnobiology in 2004.
