Biography
A senior leader in higher education with 30+ years global experience in education, sport and innovation; A very strong background in leading strategic design in multinational educational environments; An extraordinary ability to educate people to solve complex problems through human-centred innovation.
My teaching, research and civic engagement focuses on three core overlapping areas: (i) sport pedagogy, (ii) education and (iii) innovation and design thinking. I believe that my scholarship must have a positive impact on the lives of citizens.
I am a Senior Lecturer in Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy at University College Cork, and the only Hasso Plattner Institute licenced Design Thinking Coach in my field. I am the founder of the HEA Human Capital Initiative Pillar 1 funded PGDip for Innovation through Design Thinking, which is run jointly by the School of Education and the Cork University Business School.
For some time now, I have worked in the area of strategic design within my university and also in other universities, facilitating the design of their strategy with the C-suite. To this end, I founded StrategicDesign@UCC, which is a member of the Global Design Thinking Alliance (https://gdta.org/). I have extensive experience in applying design thinking (human-centred innovation) across the trisector more broadly, but also more specifically in the area of sport, physical activity and physical education. In April 2020, during the pandemic, I founded the annual Global Design Challenge for Sport and Physical Activity (GDC) innovation competition under UNESCO patronage which uses design thinking to crowdsource ideas for incubation and impact (see https://gdc2022.devpost.com/). The GDC 2023 will launch in April 2023.
International Leadership Roles
(i) Elected as President of the Association Internationale des Écoles Superiéure d’Éducation Physique (AIESEP) (2022 -2026)
(ii) Invited Member of UNESCO Scientific Committee for Physical Activity (2019-date)
(iii) Founder and Link Convenor of European Educational Research Association (EERA) Network on Research in Sport Pedagogy (2011 – 2018)
(iv) Elected member of the Board of Directors of CEREPS (the European Research Council for Physical Education) and Director of Research and Projects (2021 - present).

All Island All Active Dr. Fiona Chambers and Professor Deirdre Brennan (University of Ulster) founded All Island All Active in November 2012. The new All Island All Active cross border body provides leading academics, practitioners, politicians, policy makers, parents, active sport participants and strategic industry partners a space to collaborate to develop common pedagogical (teaching and learning) strategies in Sport and Physical Activity settings across schools, clubs and communities on the Island of Ireland. It is argued that by working together through AIAA, we can be more effective in our shared aim of encouraging individuals and communities to become and remain physically active across the lifespan. This unique body of stakeholders have committed to a unified approach to the promotion of quality lifelong Sport and Physical Activity. Importantly, this enabling platform will enable stakeholders to pool their knowledge and expertise to develop effective evidence-based pedagogical strategies that can have genuine impact in supporting the public to initiate and maintain participation in Sport and Physical Activity throughout their lives. AIAA is distinct on the Island of Ireland in its commitment to innovative multidisciplinary and robust research shaped by the needs of public, private, community and voluntary sectors. A recent AIAA funding workshop rallied leaders from the Sport and Physical Activity industry responsible for inspiring, steering, funding, managing, coordinating, volunteering, researching and reporting on participation in Sport and Physical Activity. This engagement led to the design of a unified AIAA focus; ‘‘To improve levels of physical activity across the Island of Ireland through effective teaching and learning strategies: 12% increase in physical activity levels in 12 years. | |
Project Draíocht: I am a member of the UCC Steering Committee of Project Draíocht. The Project comprises a university hub of four universities - UCC, Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee and Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, Connecticut.

Teaching Activities
Teaching Interests
I am the Head of the School of Education, a Senior Lecturer in PE and Sport Pedagogy and a Hasso-Plattner Institute licenced Design Thinking Coach - the only one in my field. I am an educational visionary and an academic leader who uses a human-centred, problem-solving mindset (design thinking) to innovate. I bring multiple and diverse stakeholders together to develop approaches that achieve our UCC goals in teaching, research and civic engagement.
I am a maven, connecting people into powerful networks to enact educational change at third-level, schools and in the community. I have honed these skills over a 30 year career spanning a 6 year career as a senior bank official and 12 year career as a middle manager and a teacher of physical education, science and wellbeing. I believe that all scholarship must have impact. This professional goal is delivered through a focus on enhancing the learner’s experience in formal, non-formal and informal settings.
My teaching, research and civic engagement focuses particularly on the areas of (a) Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, (b) Mentoring, and (c) Innovation through design thinking.
Some of my teaching is outlined below:
A. Programme Co-director PGDip in Innovation through Design Thinking (Human Capital Initiative Funding (2020 - 2024)
ED6076: Innovation, Creativity and Design Thinking
BU6008: Data and Digital literacy
BU6009: Industry in the Classroom
B. Undergraduate Courses
