I’ve had a varied and wonderfully interesting career. This page is about my current work.
Current Positions: Lecturer and Academic Coordinator of the Praxis Project, University College Cork.
Currently I work full time as a Lecturer in Development and Global Citizenship Education at the Centre for Global Development University College Cork. As part of this work I am also the Academic Coordinator of the Praxis Project, which aims to integrate Global Citizenship and Development Education across all faculties in UCC. You can find more information about this relatively new project at this website: http://praxisucc.ie/
I lecture on a University Wide course: UW0012 – Development and Global Citizenship Education
I welcome everyone onto this course so do take a look: https://www.ucc.ie/admin/registrar/modules?mod=UW0012
The Praxis Project aims to integrate ‘Development and Global Citizenship Education’ (DGCE) into pedagogy, research and capacity building activities across University College Cork.

The Global Hub Radio Show
The Global Hub is a radio show which I present on Community Radio Youghal. The programme focuses on social justice and development issues at home and abroad. We have covered very many topics.
If you are interested in a particular radio show/theme you can go to the ‘themes’ or ‘topics’ part of the blog page on this website and choose a topic that interests you. By the end of 2020 I will have collated these shows in a manner which will make shows easier to find on this site. Meanwhile you can also find a lot of the shows on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/GertrudeCotter/
