A little about me

About Scott

I have worked with young people since 1996, within and for churches, voluntary agencies and in statutory settings. My work has included supporting youth workers, developing the practice of work with young people and exploring the role of stories, faith and community with young people.

My academic interests include youth work, theology, ethics, digital culture 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, studying work with young people within the Church of Scotland alongside a Master's in Theology also 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. Excitingly, I have a background as a welder and hold ECITB certification.
