A little about me

About Scott

I have worked with young people since 1996, in church, voluntary and statutory settings. My work has included supporting youth workers, developing practice and exploring the role of faith and community in young people's lives.

My academic interests include youth work, theology, ethics, digital culture and research. My research projects include, youthwork using geography to allow a playful theological relfection, youth workers' use of computer games and associated questions of ethics and play. I am a member of academic associations including IASYM, AMYE, AAR and SST.

I have a Doctorate in Practical Theology from the University of Glasgow, a Master's in Theology from the University of Glasgow, PGC in Community Education from the University of Strathclyde, and a BA in Youth Work with Applied Theology from International Christian College.
