Professor Justin Dillon is professor of science and environmental education at University College London and Guest Professor at Zhejiang University, China. His research interests are in learning in and outside the classroom, climate change and sustainability education. After studying for a degree in chemistry, Justin trained as a teacher and taught in London schools for 10 years. He joined King’s College London in 1989, where he worked as a researcher and teacher educator being appointed professor in 2009. In 2014, Justin was appointed Head of the Graduate School of Education at the University of Bristol. He then joined the University of Exeter in 2017 where he was Director of Research in the School of Education. He returned to London earlier this year to take a chair at UCL. Justin was President of the European Science Education Research Association (ESERA) from 2007-11 and is President of the UK National Association for Environmental Education. Previously he was Chair of Trustees of the London Wildlife Trust and Bankside Open Spaces Trust. Justin edits the journal, Studies in Science Education, and is an editor of the International Journal of Science Education.
