Graham Giles is a masters student in the Centre for Cross Faculty Inquiry in Education and teaches in the North Vancouver School District. His research focuses on public space in education, specifically as regards ethics, aesthetics and meaning. A secondary research is songwriting in the classroom. Both interests arise from a long history as a musician and songwriter whose complementary aspects of public creative extemporaneity and writing have unwittingly comprised a basis for subsequent re-conceptualization of public space in education.
