Chris' core research interests lie in the fields of management and education. With the increasing implementation of hybrid flexible delivery, this has prompted questions about whether or not hybrid flexible delivery methods provide a pedagogically sound foundation on which to provide educational programs in the tertiary environment. Chris is interested in contributing to the debate about what critical engagement actually means, how it is best measured, why it is important in the context of learning and how hybrid flexible delivery affects the level of critical engagement.
