Adam has been involved in post-secondary education for over 10 years. He has experiences ranging from working in an Office of the Registrar, to working as faculty in an academic support and development context (at KPU’s Learning Centre, akin to UFV’s Academic Success Centre) to years of post-secondary classroom teaching and training in the Lower Mainland. In addition to teaching classes in Communications, Adam has also taught in the areas of educational theory, educational transitions (UNIV 101), literacy assessments and learning strategies (CSM).
In addition to his work in education, Adam has experiences and interests in poetry, music (as a former music promoter) and the publishing industry.
Adam’s research surrounds the use of poetry, and other creative mediums, to generate and mobilize knowledge. His particular interest is in Poetic Inquiry, a method/tool which uses poetry in data collection, data analysis or data dissemination. He is currently writing his doctoral dissertation around the theme of research and scholarship which uses poetry in a Canadian context (its uses, impacts and potential in academic and non-academic contexts).
