About this blog

My name is Steve Shann and I am an assistant professor in the Education Faculty at the University of Canberra, Australia.

I have been a teacher (primary and secondary) for most of my professional life, which began in 1970. I had about ten years when I was a psychotherapist.

My most recent school job was as a secondary English teacher. My other blog, Birds Fly, Fish Swim, was written during that time.

I’ve described the initial stimulus for starting this new blog in my first post called ‘Degrees of fiction’.
