Paul Elliott has been a
professor in the School of Education and Professional Learning at Trent University,
Peterborough, Ontario since 2007.
For his first degree he
studied Environmental Biology at the University College of Swansea (now Swansea University) in South Wales, UK.
He went on to gain a post-graduate studentship award that enabled him to
conduct research on beetle ecology, for which he received a Ph.D.
After completing a
post-graduate teaching qualification he went on to teach Biology and Science
to grades 7-13 at a public school in Wiltshire,
England.
During this time he developed an interest in bat ecology and conservation that
continues to this day.
After several years school
teaching, Paul moved to the Institute
of Education at the University of Warwick in Coventry, UK.
Here he taught classes in biology, science education and core educational
studies. He also supervised the work of Masters and Ph.D. students,
championed the introduction of an Environmental Studies 2+2 degree program
for non-traditional students and taught several adult education classes.
Paul Elliott’s
academic interests are wide-ranging. He has published work on topics as
diverse as insect ecology, bat conservation, biodiversity education,
scientific literacy and the influence of the environment in which science is
taught. He has undertaken projects in Bulgaria,
Estonia, Germany and Poland.
He is a director of the Peterborough Field Naturalists
and enjoys hiking, canoeing and cross-country skiing.
