Über den Autor

Kerry Shephard is Professor of Higher Education Development at the University of Otago's Higher Education Development Centre. Kerry researches and teaches policy and practice in higher education with particular interests in sustainability, global citizenship and integrity. Kerry's work has a particular focus on learning and teaching involving values, attitudes, dispositions and behaviours and argues that for higher education to make a serious contribution to sustainability we need to be interested not only in the knowledge and skills that we teach but also in what people choose to do with the knowledge and skill that they learn. Kerry's work at Otago as educational researcher and academic developer is substantially informed by a previous academic career teaching and researching biology.
